  • Women and Sport: a Summary of Potential Issues
    Research and Information Service Research Paper 17th February 2014 Dr Dan Hull & Megan Ward Women and sport: A summary of potential issues NIAR 212-13 This paper examines current participation levels of women in sport and physical activity in both Northern Ireland and elsewhere. It summarises the nature of current strategies and policies around this issue, before suggesting a number of potential issues for further consideration. Paper 44/14 17 February 2014 Research and Information Service briefings are compiled for the benefit of MLAs and their support staff. Authors are available to discuss the contents of these papers with Members and their staff but cannot advise members of the general public. We do, however, welcome written evidence that relate to our papers and these should be sent to the Research and Information Service, Northern Ireland Assembly, Room 139, Parliament Buildings, Belfast BT4 3XX or e-mailed to [email protected] NIAR 212-13 Research Paper Key Points . Women exercise significantly less than men in Northern Ireland; 45% of women have participated in sport in the previous 12 months, as opposed to 59% of men. Comparison of sports participation rates with other jurisdictions suggests that rates of female participation are particularly low in Northern Ireland. In terms of elite sport, Sport NI’s Athlete Investment Programme awarded around 41% of its funds to women, with the larger sums going to swimming, equestrianism, netball, squash and skiing. However, a study which looked at Northern Ireland athletes at the Commonwealth Games concluded that there is a marked and long-term disparity between men and women in terms of medals won.
