The bar graph illustrates the percentages of children aged 5 to 14, participating in various leisure activities in Australia. It is quite clear from the graph that the major portion of the time spent on leisure pursuits by young pupils is on watching TV and playing video games which are true for both boys and girls.
Looking at the involvement in creative activities like art and craft, the percentage of girls is approximately 55% which is higher than that of boys by 15%. While having less participation here, boys seem more active in outdoor games such as skateboarding and bike riding as compared to the girls. Children seem more interested in the latter activity than the former with 70% and 60% of participation in boys and girls respectively.
Furthermore, there is a striking difference in the time spent on electronic products and computer games between the two genders. 80% of boys spend their time glued to gadgets or games online as compared to 60% of girls.
The data clearly depicts how much addicted our young generation is to electronic devices and spend less time being involved in physical activities, which is very important for the overall growth of the children.
