The article by Keaney/Oskala present the findings of a British survey on participation of the elderly in sports, arts and cultural activities (p.323-355).

Chan/Goldthorpe deal with the influence of social factors - class, status, income, education - on cultural participation, reporting on a recently finished analysis of cultural consumption in the UK.

Various cultural professionals, including from the British ministry of culture, DCMS, comment the findings.
