The changing face oe the UK

Let's start with some good news - people live longer nowadays. The bad news for the goverment is that it has to pay out more in pensions. On average people live for 78 yeas (75 for men and 80 for women) - in 1911 it was only 52! It is because we have a healthy lifestyle? Maybe. More people see smoking as a health hazard, only a quater of the population smokers compared to half 30 years ago. People eat more fuit and less fat but about three-quaters of men and two-thirds of women between 55 and 64 are seriously overweight. - смертность, причина в еде

More people work than ever before - 79% of men and 69% of women have jobs. And people earn three times more in real terns than 50 years ago - but the difference between rich and poor people is bigger. The most important growth area for jobs is in computers.Young people certainly see qualitifications as important to get a good job. The percentage of 16-18 years-olds in education went up form 35% to 55% in the 1990s. And did you know, the British work the longest hous per week in Europe? That's an average of 45.7 hours for men and 40.7 hours for women. - работа, часы работы

Traditional family and home life is changing. In fact, nearly a third of the population lives alone and there are fewer marriages nowadays. Each year, almost a quater of a milion babies are born in England and Wales to parents who are not married to each other - that's 40% of the total.Women are having children later and 29 in now the average age for having baby. Young people are staying with their parents longer than before, mainly because it is expensive to get a place to live. - замужество, дети

The proverb "Early to bed, early to rice" seems a goog diskription of the British lifestyle. On weekdays, most people get up before 8 a.m. (77%) and go to bed before midnight (81%). Main meal times are forn 8 a.m. to 9 a/m/ (breakfast), at 1 p.m. (lunch) and between 5 p.m. and 9 a.m. (dinner). - часы сна и принятия пищи

What do people do in evnings? Are Brits a nation of couch potatoes? On average they watch TV for 25 hours a week. Children and teenagers watch less TV than 25-44 yars-olders but spend five times longer on computer games. The biggest Internet users are the 16-24 years-olds - on average, they are online for four minutes a day. - телевизор, компьютер
