Chinanews, Beijing, Feb. 26 – A recent report shows that during the eleventh five-year period, Chinese youth will expand the range of their leisure activities by spending more time on art activities, entertainment and physical exercise, as well as art appreciation.
The report, titled "Chinese Youth's Development during the Tenth Five-Year Period and Its Prospects during the Eleventh Five-Year Period", was compiled by the China Youth and Children Research Center (CYCRC).
The report points out that during the tenth five-year period (2000-2005), young people’s leisure activities were not enough. However, as leisure industry further develops during the eleventh five-year period (2006-2010), more high-class cultural venues, sci-tech venues, art centers, museums, libraries, and parks will be built in China. At the same time, facilities linked with culture and high-class leisure activities will be put in place in many community centers. Therefore, Chinese young people’s leisure activities will be greatly expanded in the new period.
“While the range of leisure activities for young people will be greatly expanded, the structure of their leisure consumption will also improve. Taking material consumption as the basic form, most young people will be attracted by activities that are full of cultural elements and can satisfy their mental needs,” said Deng Xiquan, a doctorate holder at CYCRC.
Young people’s spending on leisure activities is higher than the general average level in society, and the proportion of their leisure spending to their total spending is expected to increase in future, the report predicts.
