Basically time with co-workers is replaced by time alone when people stop working. Time with family stays constant starting at 30ish.
What about friends? That’s the missing element here. Theoretically, time with co-workers should be replaced by time with friends. Is the real story here that Americans have no/few friends?!
Good fact of day. Family can be a misleading reference however. It may assume 'parents and relatives'. As a father, i experienced a large decline in time spend with parents, siblings, and relatives after college, which has remained fairly stable since. But as a father, my time with my wife and children (also family) has been at peak since the birth of my first child (30s) and I assume will remain that way my kids leave the home. At that points, I'll be in my 50s.
Next FOTD topics :-), birthrates by country (over time) and age in which parents have first child (over time).
Don't US Citizens have friends?

This is very eye opening statistics. Thank you for sharing.
Is the time spent summed annually/monthly/weekly? Kind of a depressing graph...I'd be curious how the US compares to other countries.
