When do young adults stop practising a sport? An event history analysis on the impact of four major life events
This article investigates the relationship between four major life events and stopping sport participation in young adulthood. We employ a neo-Weberian theoretical framework related to changes in temporal and social resources to explain how beginning to work, starting to live on one's own, starting to cohabit or getting married, and the birth of one's first child affect the risk to stop practising a sport and to end a sport club membership. We us…
Sport participation and the social and physical environment
In this study, we investigated the intensity of sport participation in the Netherlands comparing urban and rural areas. Using a socio-ecological theoretical model, we focussed on the extent to which the rural–urban divide in sport participation is explained by micro-level (socio-demographics), meso-level (safety and socio-economic status of neighbourhoods) and exo-level (variety and proximity of sport facilities) characteristics. We tested our th…
Starting a sport in the Netherlands
In this article we investigate the effects of parental, individual and partner characteristics on the starting of a sport. Employing event history models we analyze 72,491 person-years of 2276 individuals from the Family Survey Dutch Population 1998 and 2003. Our results show that growing up in a family in which sport is common increases the likelihood of starting a sport. We further conclude that parents from the higher social classes more often…

Measuring sports participation in the Netherlands – the need to go beyond guidelines
Introduction: Sport is a social category. What people label as sport, varies historically and across cultures. That makes it difficult to compare outcomes of sports participation research. In this article, we will draw out how and to what extent methodological differences have influenced outcomes of Dutch sports participation surveys. In addition, we will go into attempts to enhance comparability between surveys by issuing a Guideline for Sports …
Nonresponse in the Dutch Time Use Survey
This article describes attempts to enhance response rates in the Dutch Time Use Survey (DTUS). The authors examine what kind of nonresponse bias exists in the DTUS—with special concern for “busyness”—and they analyze whether enhanced response rates result in lower nonresponse bias. Results partly confirm the outcomes of earlier studies. First, time pressure does not seem to stop people from cooperating in the DTUS. Second, people who are particip…
The Double Myth of Flexibilization
Advocates of the flexibilization of working time argue that many people are already accustomed to working evenings, nights and weekends, and that flexibilization will improve people's control over time. In this article, these two assertions are put to trial. For this, the author relies on time-budget data that were gathered in The Netherlands between 1975 and 1995. The analyses indicate that even in 1995 most work is still being performed `from 9…
Post-Fordist Leisure and Work
The main question of this article is how transitions towards a post-Fordist economy influence debates over leisure and work. First, the traditional separation of leisure from work is related to the specific context of a Fordist economy. Next, the concept of post-Fordism is addressed. Conceptual de- differentiation and temporal flexibilization are considered the most important characteristics of post-Fordism as regards debates over leisure and wor…
