Broken down by sex, 48,126,000 males and 50,433,000 females participated in some kind of activity. The participation rate for males was 87.2%, and for females 86.8%; therefore, the males’ rate was higher than females’ by 0.4 percentage points.

By age group, the highest participation rate appeared in the age group of 10 to 14 (95.5%). The higher the age group, the lower the rate, generally speaking. (Figure 4-1.)

Figure 4-2: Participation rate in “Hobbies and amusements” by sex and age group (2016)
(2) Participation rate was highest for “Watching movies other than movie theater”.
For participation rates of “Hobbies and amusements” by kind of activity, the highest rate was found in “Watching movies other than movie theater” (52.1%), followed by “Listening to music by CD, Smartphone, etc.” (49.0%), “Watching movies in a movie theater” (39.6%), and so on. Compared to 2011, “Watching movies other than movie theater” increased by 11.6 percentage points, and “Watching movies in a movie theater” increased by 4.5 percentage points. (Figure 4-3.)
By sex, the highest rate for both males and females was found in “Watching movies other than movie theater” (52.6% for males and 51.6% for females), followed by “Listening to music by CD, Smartphone, etc.” (49.0% for males and 48.9% for females). (Figure 4-4.)
* “Watching movies other than movie theater” was polled in the 2011 survey as “Watching movies (excluding TV PGMs, video and DVD)”. In the 2016 survey, this category was polled as “Watching movies other than movie theater (TV PGMs, DVDs, and PCs etc.)”, and this difference in definitions suggests a need for caution in making comparisons.
