Abstract

Socio-economic status plays a critical role in determining access to sports resources, coaching, and facilities in Indonesia, creating disparities in opportunities for athletic development. This paper explores the relationship between socio-economic class and access to sports in Indonesia, particularly focusing on how children from lower-income families face significant barriers in pursuing sports at a competitive level. It examines the lack of infrastructure, financial support, and training opportunities available to these communities, and how these inequities contribute to broader issues of social injustice in the sports sector. Through qualitative and quantitative research, the paper highlights the need for policy changes and increased investment in sports programs for marginalized communities, aiming to promote a more equitable distribution of resources and opportunities in Indonesian sports.
