Why is it important?
The work was accomplished through empirical research and, whilst using broad reasoning procedures, comparisons were drawn between the representation of leisure and its actual activities. It was identified that such variables have a distinct influence on the manner in which Brazilians spend their leisure time, and that it contributes to the rise of inequality when it comes to leisure.
Perspectives
We noted that the variables related to schooling, income and social class present in the collected data exerted a decisive influence in the way Brazilians use their leisure time. People with lower education and income levels were more limited in the activities that they carried participated while those with higher levels may have access to and are able to experience a greater number of activities of a more diverse content/nature.
