1.The chart below shows the amount of leisure time enjoyed by men and women of dirrerent employment status.
Model Answer
The provided chart shows the number of lcisure hours enjoyed by men and women in a typical week in 19o8-99,according to gender anid employment status.As is observed from the graph,the unemployed and retired men and women had more lisure time than the other
type of people.
Among the full-time employed pcoplc,men had about 45 hours of lcisure timeon an average per weck compared to the 38 hours of leisure iime for women.No data is given for the part -time employed men and women from this category enjoyed 40 hours of leisure time in a wcck.This figure is slightly more than theemployed women perhaps because of their
employment nature. Unemployed and retired people had the longcst period of leisure activity both for men and women and men had a bit more hours than the women.As expected the retired and unemployed people enjoyed about 7s to 82 hours per week which is longer than people from other employment statuscs.Lastly, housexwives enjoyed approximately 50 hours of leisure time which is more than the employed women but less than the unemployed and retired women.The graph reflects that men had more lcisure time from all cmployment statuses than womn which indicates that women spent more time working at home than their male
counterparts.
The graph summarises that the male enjoyed more leisure time than women and employed people had less time for leisure activities than retired and unemployed people.
