Estimate the number of hours per day that people aged 65+ spend watching TV.

Estimate the percentage of leisure time that 15–24-year-olds spend on non-screen activities.

Outline one possible reason why people in this high-income country have a large amount of leisure time.

Explain three factors not shown in the graph that may affect the amount of leisure time for different groups of working people in a country like this.

About 4.5 (allow 4.4 to 4.6). Accept 4 hr 20 min to 4 hr 40 min

33.3% (allow 33.0 to 34.0%).

Award [1] for a valid reason and [1] for further development.

For example: People in HICs are usually expected to work only 7–8 hours per day [1] because laws have been established regarding working conditions [1].

Other possibilities include:

• Larger numbers of retired people
• High income means more people can work from home or part time.
• High unemployment rates.

Award [1] for identifying the factor and [1] for further development using applied knowledge of leisure, tourism and sport.

Do not credit mirror responses, or anything to do with education or stages of life cycle.

Factors can be socio-economic (who the groups are), or geographic (where they live).

For example: Place of residence – living at the edge of an urban area [1] may leave people with less leisure time because of commuting [1].

Other possibilities include:

• Affluence/income – people on a low rate of pay may need to work longer hours to meet living costs.
• Gender – some women may find there is a cultural expectation for them to care for children and/or the elderly in addition to working.
• Culture – some cultural ethnic groups may have differing attitudes towards leisure/work time balance.
• Health/mobility – some working people may have health issues that restrict leisure participation.
