WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Work-life balance is used to describe the balance between an individual's work and personal life. The sport participation rate was highest for those whose work commitments allowed them to also meet other family and community responsibilities (73%). Of the 846,000 persons whose work commitment did not allow them to meet family and community responsibilities, two thirds participated in sport and physical recreation (66%). Some 4.5 million or 29% of persons indicated they did not have family/community responsibilities. Within this group, 66% participated in sport and physical recreation.
