UK: TEENAGERS BELIEVE SPORT IS NOT COOL

Article Abstract:

A survey undertaken by Adidas UK has revealed that teenagers believe sport is not 'cool' and as a result they are spending less and less time on physical exercise (PE). The Adidas study, entitled Sport Uncovered, shows that many girls are discouraged from exercising due to a poor self-image. Regulation PE kits are disliked, as is the limited range of activity available. The Government agrees that there is a problem, and is supporting plans to create 600 new school sports coordinators, who will widen the range of activities available.

WORLD: WOMEN CARE LESS ABOUT MONEY

Article Abstract:

A new survey has revealed that women care less about earning money than men, and are therefore less successful. The study also suggests that women have fewer opportunities in life because of their different attitude towards employment and money. Men were also found to be more prepared than women to spend less time with families, give up job security for a higher salary and relocate for work. In the UK, women are still paid 20% less than men despite the increase in social and financial independence over the past 30 years.
