Jin Hong said that surging socialized services including meal delivery and hourly-accounted household services had allowed Chinese residents to spend less time on housework and more time with family.
As for leisure time, respondents reported watching television as their most time-consuming entertainment, at 100 minutes daily, a decrease of 26 minutes from 10 years ago. Recreation and entertainment took 1 hour and 5 minutes, about 25 minutes more, while time for keep-fit exercises rose by 8 minutes.
The statistician said Chinese residents had more free time in 2018 than in 2008. A general trend is that the more one earns, the less free time they have.
The survey shows that residents with lower incomes spent more time watching TV, while higher-income earners used more time reading.
Chinese residents used 38 minutes a day on transport in 2018, nearly half as much as that in 2008. Office workers spent 16 minutes less time commuting while student commuting time shortened by 27 minutes.
Jin said this reflected improvements in China's transport system.
When the survey was first conducted by the NBS in 2008, Chinese people mainly used desktops to log onto the Internet and stayed online for only 14 minutes. In 2018, they could quickly access the Internet through mobile phones, PAD and laptops, spending 2 hours and 42 minutes online a day.
About 85 countries and regions including the United States, Germany and France have conducted such surveys, which are believed to have important policy uses, particularly in the areas of health, employment, social protection and childcare.
