COVID-19: Opinions on the acceptable level of risk within returning sports, by gender
The responses to this survey have subsequently been categorized into into two groups characterized by the NRS social grades of the respondents. The NRS social grades are a system of demographic classification used in the United Kingdom. The grades are grouped here into ABC1 and C2DE; these are taken to equate to middle class and working class, respectively.
Although an equal share of respondents within the C2DE social grade group held the opinion that professional athletes should accept either no risk or a small amount of risk, of respondents within the ABC1 social grade group, 38 percent held the opinion that athletes should accept a small amount of risk whereas only 28 percent held the opinion that athletes should accept 'no risk'. /statistics/779014/working-class-social-class-opinions-great-britain-uk/ /statistics/1088542/educational-backgrounds-of-british-professional-athletes-by-sport-and-gender/
