DCMS: Will expected demographic changes impact participation in culture and sport? Analysis of the Taking Part Survey

This report presents findings from analysis of the 2007/08 Taking Part survey on how changes in demography might impact engagement with, and participation in five sectors: sport, arts, heritage, museums and galleries, and libraries.

The analysis was commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and undertaken by TNS-BMRB.

The research was driven by one overarching research question:
*Will expected demographic changes impact participation in culture and sport?*
