Leisure Activities of Families - US
Mintel International Group Ltd.

US$3995. Instant Delivery Online

?Demand for leisure pursuits fuels a growing leisure and entertainment
industry. But the types of pursuits people prefer differ according to
various demographic characteristics. Younger people tend to have
interests that differ markedly from older adults, while men and women
often have clearly different ideas about how to spend their leisure
time. In addition, people who have children generally spend a good of
their leisure time engaging in activities that can be enjoyed by the
whole family.
In order to explore how these different groups seek to entertainment
themselves in their free time, Mintel has developed a series of
reports on leisure activities that divides the population into three
lifestage groups: younger adults without children, families with
children, and empty nesters. Within each of these reports, consumer
survey data commission by Mintel as well as data from the Simmons
National Consumer Survey is used to delineate differences among
various demographic segments within the lifestage groups, such as age
and gender.?

? This report examines the demographic factors that influence how
people spend their free time. This includes employment status,
household income, home ownership, presence of children, age, race and
Hispanic origin. It also analyzes where consumers spend their
entertainment dollars, and covers spending on items such as athletic
gear, club memberships, cable and television services, records, CDs
and tables, and photographic equipment, to name a few.
The remainder of the report is organized around the types of
activities that Americans engage in. This ranges from sports
participation (eg basketball, bowling, skiing), fitness activity
participation (eg exercise walking, yoga, fishing, cycling),
participation in hobbies and the arts (eg card games, cooking for fun,
painting, playing musical instruments), usage of media and the
Internet (eg watching television, using the Internet, reading
newspapers), types of nightlife activities utilized (eg going to
movies, concerts and clubs), and participation in other leisure

games).?

Very thorough answers.  Unfortunately, it missed the deadline for
inclusion in my research study, but I did not specify a time frame, so
that's my fault.  Lots of information for me to go through and perhaps
will be able to squeeze out of the research fund.
