| Abstract: | Recent research emphasizes the importance of economic factors on sport participation. We extend this by examining the role
played by time constraints and family structure in survey data from Rheinberg, Germany. Based on empirical models that account
for the two-part decision—the decision to participate and the decision about how long to participate—involved, we find that
time constraints in the form of time spent caring for children and relatives and family structure in the form of the presence
of children reduce both the likelihood that individuals participate and the time spent taking part in sports. |
