Introduction

The table provides information about the number of hours spent on leisure activities by Canadians in a typical year, categorised by different age groups.

Overview

At a glance, it can be seen that the amount of leisure time varies significantly among the age groups, with the youngest and oldest groups having the most free time. Conversely, those in the middle age groups tend to have less leisure time.

Body 1

Looking at the details, the age group with the most leisure time is the 15-24 years group, who enjoy approximately 6000 hours of leisure per year. This is closely followed by those aged 65 and above, who have around 5800 hours of leisure annually. These two groups have significantly more leisure time than the other age groups.

Body 2

On the other hand, the age groups 25-34 and 35-44 have the least amount of leisure time, with about 3500 and 4000 hours per year respectively. Interestingly, the leisure time increases slightly for the 45-54 age group, with approximately 4500 hours per year, before significantly increasing for the older age groups.
