Generally the differences <strong>in</strong> participati<strong>on</strong> <strong>in</strong> youth work between Oslo and Porsgrunn are<br />
small. The participati<strong>on</strong> rate for recreati<strong>on</strong>al activities, cultural activities, youth clubs and<br />
youth associati<strong>on</strong>s is a bit higher <strong>in</strong> Oslo than <strong>in</strong> Porsgrunn. The f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gs are difficult to<br />
<strong>in</strong>terpret because the survey <strong>in</strong> Porsgrunn was d<strong>on</strong>e four yeas before the <strong>on</strong>e <strong>in</strong> Oslo. The<br />
differences could result from the difference <strong>in</strong> time rather than from differences between the<br />
cities.<br />
More males than females participate <strong>in</strong> recreati<strong>on</strong>al activities, <strong>in</strong> youth clubs and <strong>in</strong> sports,<br />
whereas more females are <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> youth associati<strong>on</strong>s and youth groups. Generally the<br />
differences are small.<br />
