The bar chart provides us information about the proportion of New Zealand volunteers by four different household types was taking part in sports organisations in 2010, and the pie diagram shows their share in a variety of activities during the same time period. According to both of them, it was evident that the vast majority of volunteers were families of couples and dependent children, while those of single parents took up the least. Moreover, we could see that a large number of them worked as coaches, instructors or teachers. By contrast, medical support or other was the least favourable occupation.
The proportion of volunteers who assisted sports organisations was highest from the families of parents and their children, which accounted for just under 50 per cent. The percentage of couples without children was half that of couples with children. Single-person households and single-parent families had the lowest participation rates, at 12.4 per cent and 10.9 per cent, respectively.
Teaching roles such as coach, instructor and teacher were the support work that the majority of volunteers did. Just over 200,000 volunteers undertook these types of roles . Committe member or administrator formed the second-largest group,numbering 158,600. Socerer or timekeeper followed closely, with 128,000 volunteers. Medical support had only 62,700 volunteers, making this the least popular sport support roles in New Zealand.
