Abstract

This report is the first in a series of three reports on Leisure Activities in the U.S. The reports divide the population into three lifestage groups based on age and presence of children in the household: pre-family, family, and post-family (defined below). The reports and publication dates are listed below:
  • Pre-family Leisure Activities, consumer intelligence - U.S. Report, April 2002
  • Family Leisure Activities, consumer intelligence - U.S. Report, June 2002
  • Post-family Leisure Activities, consumer intelligence - U.S. Report, August 2002

There are many factors that influence how people spend their leisure time. This report examines the differences between respondents in different lifestage groups as well as differences by demographic characteristics for respondents within the pre-family category. In many cases, the factors that define the pre-family category-relative youth (aged 18 to 45) and lack of children in the household-are key influences in how people use their leisure time. But there are other factors that sometimes play a role in the likelihood of engaging in various leisure activities, such as gender and marital status. Where appropriate, these influences are also discussed.
