The Leisure Survey is an inquiry that examines the population's leisure activities and social participation, their development and participation of different population groups. The survey also produces information on the ratio between work and leisure, social relationships and importance attached to different spheres of life. The Leisure Survey has been conducted in 1977, 1981, 1991 and 2002. The data for the leisure survey are collected with a self-filled web and paper questionnaire and face-to-face interviews from September 2017 to January 2018.
