Abstract
This article provides substantial empirical evidence that significant social differences exist in sport involvement in Flanders. A 30-year follow-up study of social stratification in sports was carried out to find out (i) if sports participation in Flanders is still socially stratified, and (ii) if social changes occur in the status sport pyramid over the years of investigation. Based upon the socio-educational status, the socio-professional status and the socio-geographical status of male and female adults in Flanders a social stratification pyramid in sports was set up for 1969, 1979, 1989 and 1999. Although the amount of sports participation from 1969 until 1999 has increased for each socio-professional status, a significant difference persists between the high and the low professional levels (x2 test for trend - 85.90; p<0.0001; df=1). The 1999 social sport pyramid continues to be socially stratified, and therefore confirms that sports participation still depends on socio-professional status.
