Trajectories of sport participation among children and adolescents across different socio-economic categories: Multilevel findings from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth
Authors: Thomas A. Perks
Overview
Abstract (English)
Building upon prior theoretical and empirical work, this study explores the sport participation trajectories of children across different socio-economic status (SES) categories to assess the possibility of changes in the SES-sport participation relationship as children age. Using representative panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, a multilevel analysis of 4,858 children aged 6 to 9 suggests that as children age the SES effect on sport participation persists over time. However, the SES effect on sport participation appears to have relatively small predictive import compared to other factors.
