abstract: 'For decades, the German sports policy mission statement ``Sport for

  All{''''} has been aimed at attracting women to voluntary work in the

  sports sector. Nevertheless, women are consistently underrepresented in

  volunteering within sports organizations and especially on boards.

  One-dimensional gender analyses that exclude other factors like class

  and ethnicity cannot, however, adequately describe different modes of

  disadvantage. In order to analyze the unequal access to volunteering and

  leadership positions in sport, we refer to inequality theory and

  intersectional approaches, which include different factors of

  disadvantage. Our study is based on a quantitative population survey on

  volunteering in Germany with more than 25,000 respondents conducted in

  2014 and 2019. We examine factors and interactions that can predict

  women''s volunteering and leadership in sport. The results show that the

  proportion of women who volunteer is lower than the proportion of men

  and that fewer women than men take on leadership positions. The gender

  differences were not as pronounced in 2019 as they were in 2014.

  Independent of gender, the likelihood of volunteering increases with

  higher income, A-levels, no immigration status, marriage and the

  presence of children in the household. Part-time and marginal employment

  is more often associated with volunteering among women than among men;

  however, the likelihood of volunteering decreases more for women than

  for men when they are not employed at all. Moreover, higher income for

  women is less likely to be associated with voluntary work than for men

  while volunteering in other areas has a more positive effect on

  volunteering in sports for women than for men. Independent of gender,

  the likelihood of holding a leadership position increases with higher

  income, with marriage, and decreases with immigration background and

  with the presence of children in the household. Part-time and marginal

  employment increase the likelihood of having a leadership position to a

  greater extent for men than for women. In terms of leadership positions

  men benefit more than women if there are no children in the household.

  The results suggest that practical and policy efforts should focus more

  on improving the conditions for women to gain voluntary leadership

  positions.'
