The chart illustrates the proportion of teenage boys and girls in Vietnam
engaging in different pastimes in 2010.)
Overall, while boys generally enjoyed outdoor activities the most, girls
tended to join indoor ones. It is also clear that similarities can be seen in the
figures for teenagers of both sexes playing computer games or watching
DVDs.
About 27% of the boys in the survey said that they often played sports in
their free time, compared to only 12% of their female counterparts. Similarly,
the percentage of teenage boys going to the park was far higher than that of
girls, with respective figures being 25% and 12%. Dramatic differences were
also seen in the proportion of girls and boys doing art and craft, which was
25% and 4% in that order. As for reading books, around 18% of girls enjoyed
this activity, while only 10% of boys did so.
The percentage of teenagers playing video games was the same for both
genders, with 15% of the total boys and girls in the survey having this leisure
pursuit. While 15% of boys also chose to watch DVDS in their leisure time, a
slightly higher percentage of girls (approximately 18%) did the same.
The charts illustrate why people migrated to and from the UK in 2007.
Overall, the percentage of people moving in or out of the UK to undertake a
permanent job was highest in both chartsi In addition, the figure for those
who came to the UK to pursue a formal education was also significant, but
this is the least stated factor among emigrants.
The proportion of people who went to the UK to assume a permanent
position in companies based in this country is similar to that of those who left
the country for the same reason, with respective figures being 30% and 29%.
Similarities can also be seen in the percentage of people whose reason for
migration is to accompany their relatives, which is 15% for immigration and
13% for emigration.
Regarding categories with pronounced differences, while 26% of the
immigrants said that they entered the UK for academic pursuits, this is only
the case for a mere 4% of emigrants. Meanwhile, 22% of the people who
moved out of the UK said that they did so in order to find work, cpmpared to
only 12% of immigrants. Finally, the percentage of people who gave other
reasons or no reason for immigration was 32%, which was almost double
that of their emigrant counterparts.
