G.4
Percentage of the population participating in community recreational activities, by age group and minor administrative division.

Definition:

Ratio between: (i) numerator: Population that participated in community recreational activities at least once in the last month, and (ii) denominator: total population.

Notes:

The sources for this indicator are household surveys, which ask about participation. Administrative records of municipalities can also be used, since several of these community recreational activities relate to local government, such as activities carried out for older adults, adults and youth in sports clubs, among others. It is important to set a reference period; the surveys usually ask whether the respondent participated at least once in the last month.

Although the indicator only refers to age as a disaggregation, it is also recommended to include a gender breakdown.
