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.'
