ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the regional differences in the volunteering levels among grassroots districts of Seoul Metropolitan City, utilizing a data set of 46,153 persons which covers subsets of seniors(more than 60 years old) and other statistical and survey data for independent variables. Focusing on the theoretical perspectives of 'active aging' and 'active community' concerning the socioeconomic activities of senior persons, this study aims to analyze the factors affecting the regional differences in the volunteering levels. With the level of volunteering as a dependent variable and human and social capital and economic activities factors as independent variables, this study conducts a comparative analysis of volunteering among seniors in the 25 districts of Seoul Metropolitan City.
