ABSTRACT

This study attempts to investigate the difference in adolescent leisure activities based on the parent's socio-economic status in the Korean context, using Bourdieu's Cultural Capital theory. Cross-tabulation analysis was conducted based on raw data from Korea Youth Panel Survey (KYPS), which analysed second grade middle school students during 5 years from 2003 to 2007. Annual cross-tabulation analysis was conducted as well to figure out differences between status group, which is divided based on the parents socio-economic status. The results showed that adolescence leisure activities differ according to the parent's socio-economic classification. This study concludes with the suggestion that eventually this leisure activity inequality in adolescence can became a base for the hierarchical differentiation later in life in Korea.
