Leisure time set to decrease
Article Abstract:
Increased pressure on families in the future is expected to result in people having more money but less time to invest in leisure activities, claims a report commissioned by the Salavation Army. The gap between rich and poor is predicted to widen with people having to spend more time looking after elderly parents or children, if parents left having their families until later in life. The leisure industry needs to make activities more accessible and affordable to the public.
