Fifteen percent of kids whose parents earn $75,000 or more a year participate in martial arts, compared with 13 percent of those whose parents make between $50,000 and $75,000. Only 10 percent of kids whose parents earn $50,000 or less participate in the sport." | |

I notice in my club, adults tend to be either college students or lower-middle class, while at the children classes, it's higher-middle class. It may be interesting to learn if this is representative. | |

After that, it's the risk of seeming condescending, but I balance that against providing evidence that plugging in the right search terms can find relevant results. Frankly, I think most of what I found is the same resources as in Steve's answer. | |
