The kids who'd get the most out of extracurricular activities are missing out: How to improve access

One-third of Australian children aged 12 to 13 in low-income suburbs do not take part in any extracurricular activities. That's 2.5 times as many as those from higher-income suburbs—only 13% of them don't take part—according to research we will present next week to the Australian Social Policy Conference. Yet research also shows it is children from disadvantaged backgrounds who are likely to benefit most from taking part in extracurricular activities.
