England, despite many years of concerted public policy focused on reducing sporting inequities, has yet to overcome the barriers (whether physical, social, or psychological) to achieve the greater levels of equality in participation seen in Nordic countries. For example, participation in sport in England declines with age with men having higher participation rates than women, particularly among young adults, as Fig. 13.5 demonstrates. These “structural inequities” of age and gender in participation in sport go a long way towards explaining England’s “middle range” European position for overall participation rates as presented in the recent Eurobarometer statistics.
