> If you are unemployed and not in school and living alone, watching TV is a default activity.

If you are homebound due to illness or disability, this may be true.

For other groups of people, this is unlikely to be true. Stay at home parents likely have a full day of work taking care of a child or doing house chores.

Being unemployed doesn't mean that you have endless amount of free time either. Applying for jobs and preparing for tests and interviews is itself a full-time job or close to it.
