Employment in sport rose by 3.2% in the EU
According to the data published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, in 2018, 1.76 million people worked in the field of sport in the EU.
Employment in sport includes sport-related occupations in the sports sector e.g. professional athletes, professional coaches in fitness centres, non-sport occupations in the sports sector, e.g. receptionists in fitness centres, and sport-related jobs outside the sports sector, e.g. school sport instructors.
Employment in sport rose by 3.2% in terms of annual average growth rate (AAGR) between 2013 and 2018.
Women accounted for 45% of employment in sport in the EU, reflecting the structure of the total employed population (46% female).
Young people account for a relatively significant share in sport employment: in 2018, nearly four in ten workers (38%) in sport in the EU were aged 15–29, twice the figure recorded for the total employment (19 %). Since 2013, the percentage of young people employed in sport in the EU has increased, from 35% in 2013 to 38% in 2018.
