ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of leisure activity and volunteering on social integration among people from the baby-boom generation(born in 1963~1995). A survey for this research was conducted using a sample of 406 baby-boomers from Seoul and the capital region. The empirical analysis result of this research is: First, the classification of ‘Social Activities’ and ‘Cultural Activities’ have a significant positive(+) social integration influence, and ‘Home-based Activities’ have a significant negative(-) social integration influence. Second, there are statistically significant differences between the participant’s group and non-participant’s group of those volunteering on the impact of leisure activity on social integration: For the participants group of volunteers, ‘Social Activities’, ‘Cultural Activities’ and ‘higher education’ have a significant positive(+) influence, while ‘Home-based Activities’ have a significant negative(-) influence on social integration. For the non-participants group of volunteers, ‘Cultural Activities’, ‘Social Activities’, ‘higher salaries’ and ‘sexual activity’ have a significant positive(+) influence, while ‘being a housewife’ has a significantly negative(-) influence on social integration.
