japan.internet.com, in conjuction with JR Tokai Express Research, looked at how businesspeople manage their schedules. They interviewed 332 people employed by private enterprises by means of a private internet-based questionnaire. 82.8% of the sample were male, 12.3% were in their twenties, 36.1% in their thirties, 34.0% in their forties, 15.7% in their fifties, and 1.8% in their sixties.
