Nearly two-thirds of Canadians say they’re satisfied with the amount of leisure time they had at their disposal, according to a recent report from Statistics Canada.

Data shows that senior Canadians aged 65 and over are more likely to be satisfied with how much leisure time they had (82 per cent), than adults aged 30 to 49 years old (53 per cent).

      No kidding why even include people who don’t work? Should we also ask toddlers if they’re satisfied with the amount of leisure time they have?

        A survey of toddlers revealed that 40% of toddlers responded “very satisified” to every question, 60% responded “very dissatisfied”, regardless of the question asked.

    I don’t have enough leisure time after multiple jobs to afford my mortgage and home renovations. Count me in the 1/3rd.

    I’m accepting of the leisure time I had. I can’t go back and change it, so why worry about it?

    A better question would ask about the leisure time they expect they will have.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Nearly two-thirds (65 per cent) of Canadians say they’re satisfied with the amount of leisure time they had at their disposal, according to a recent report from Statistics Canada.

    Generally, women and men exhibit similar levels of satisfaction with time allocated to leisure activities.

    Specifically, among individuals aged 15 to 64, those who reported having a favorable work-life balance displayed a notably high level of contentment with their available free time, with a satisfaction rate of 78 percent.

    Following closely behind, students emerged as the second group with a considerable satisfaction rate, as 71 percent of them reported being content with the extent of their free time.

    Individuals grappling with a long-term illness reported the lowest levels of satisfaction with their free time, at 44 per cent.

    In contrast, a higher proportion (73 per cent) of those who did not report such financial difficulties conveyed satisfaction with their amount of free time.
