Triaging the completion of sports events affected by COVID-19 2020, by social grade
During a representative survey of the British adult population, undertaken between the 16th and 17th March 2020, respondents were asked their opinion on which events should take priority in the event that domestic sport leagues are paused as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the next opportunity to complete them overlaps with international sports fixtures or tournaments.
The responses to this survey have subsequently been categorised into into two groups characterised 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.
There was minor variations between the responses of the ABC1 and C2DE social grade groups with 34 percent and 30 percent respectiely, indicating that the completion of domestic leagues competitions should take priority.
