The most common leisure activity among Indonesians is watching television. According to a survey by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), this preference has steadily increased since 2003. Conversely, spending leisure time reading newspapers or magazines shows a declining trend. Periodic surveys by the BPS consistently rank reading as the least prevalent social activity compared to other indicators.

However, the sharpest decline in social activities among Indonesians aged 10 and above is in listening to the radio. Previously, in the 2003 survey, radio listening was around 50 percent, then dropped dramatically to 18 percent in 2012.
