A survey in Japan has found that more children in the country are playing video games on school days — and they're playing for longer.
The survey was done by Japan's health ministry, and included about 26,000 children who were born in 2010. The ministry collected data from 92% of the kids in 2020.
The survey found that almost 75% of the children now play video games on school days. A similar survey done in 2011 found that only 65% of children the same age played video games on school days.
Not only are more children playing video games during the week, but more of them are playing for longer amounts of time, too.
Of the children who play games on school days, about 71% said that they played for less than an hour when they were in grade one. But now that they're in grade four, only 48% of the kids play for less than an hour.
Research on how video games affect children isn't quite clear, however. Some studies have found that playing games could be connected to problems such as addiction and depression. But others have found that some games can help children develop problem-solving and social skills, and may even help improve their memory.

🌏Summary
一份問卷發現日本有越來越多孩童在上學日玩電動——而且他們玩的時間也越來越長。該問卷中，發現將近75%小孩目前在上學日玩電動。 2011年調查時。只有65%同年紀的孩童會在上學日玩電動。
那些在上學日玩電動的小孩之中，大約71%的人表示他們在一年級的時候，玩的時間不超過一小時。 但現在，他們四年級了，只有48%的小孩玩的時間在一個鐘頭以下。部分研究已指出，玩電動
可能與成癮和憂鬱症等問題有所關聯。 但也有研究發現，有些遊戲能夠協助小孩發展解決問題和社交的能力，甚至可能改善他們的記憶力。
