Inequality's Impact: It's Everywhere
Via a new paper to be published in the journal Contemporary Economic Policy from Betsey Stevenson of Wharton on the impact of Title IX on high school sports:
Examining individual high school students, sports participation is seen more frequently among those with a privileged background: white students with married, wealthy, educated parents are more likely to play sports. This finding points to an overlooked fact--while Title IX benefited girls by increasing the opportunity to play sports, these benefits were disproportionately reaped by those at the top of the income distribution.
