Involvement of Youth in Sports and Racism: A Case Study of Baluchistan, A Province of Pakistan

Abstract

    This study investigates the impact of racism on youth sports participation in Baluchistan, Pakistan, focusing on differences between male and female students as well as urban and rural students. Using a sample representing 10% of the total population of degree college students across 32 districts, data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using statistical techniques. The results reveal distinct viewpoints between boys' and girls' students regarding the effect of racism on sports participation, supporting the research hypothesis. Additionally, significant mean differences were observed between urban and rural students, further substantiating the hypothesis. The study highlights the importance of inclusive practices and policies in sports to address the challenges faced by marginalized youth and promote social justice and equal opportunities. These findings have implications for policymakers, sports organizations, and community leaders in advancing equality and inclusivity in youth sports.
