Participation by 5 to 14-year-olds in certain leisure activities in AustraliaThe graph shows participation by 5 to 15-years-olds in certain leisure activities in Australia. It is clear from the chart that girls' participation rates in leisure activities are much less than boys'.
There is a striking difference between the percentages of boys and girls who are involved in the activities in their free time. Almost two-fifths (40%) of young boys devote time to participate in rollerblading while this applies to only about 3 in 10 girls (30%). There is a similar difference between the percentages of boys and girls who participate in bike riding and electronic/computer games. In order 70 percent (7/10) and four-fifths (80%) of boys participate in bike riding and electronic/computer games. However, the figure for girls is only about 59 per cent (3/5) for each bike riding and electronic/computer games.
A closer examination of the figures for children who participate in leisure activities reveals that the greatest proportion of children is in watching TV/videos. This is 100 percent of both boys and girls.
The fact that the only activity in which girls are significantly much more involved than the boys is the craft and art. participation rate is about eleven twentieths( 55 percent, 11/20) compared to seven twentieths (35%, 7/20) of boys, raises questions about how much girls do like to participate in the organized cultural activities in comparison to boys who are more likely to play organized sports in their free time.

In Skateboarding, boys' participation rate is 40% and this number increases to 70 percent in bike riding. In watching TV/videos, boys' participation rate reaches a peak of 100 percentages. It then falls to 80% in electronic/computer games, to 30 percent in art and craft. On the other hand, girls' participation rate is about 30% in Skateboarding. This figure rises to 59% in bike riding. In watching TV/Videos, girls' participation rate reaches a peak of 100 percentages. It then falls to 59% in electronic/computer games and further falls to 58% in art and craft.
We can see, there is a noticeable change in participation rates by 5 to 15-year-olds in certain leisure activities in Australia. In Skateboarding, bike riding and electronic/computer games, boys participate much more than girls. However, in art and craft, girls participate much more than boys. It is clear that a large proportion of all children is in watching TV/videos. This is 100 percent.
