ABSTRACT

This study deals with the issue whether the 'inequality of participation'of giving and volunteering' as suggested by some empirical studies isapplicable in Korean society. Comparing both the socioeconomic status(SES)variables(income and education) and social networking variables(group andreligious activities, networking with friends and neighbors), this studyfocuses attention on the empirical implications of 'inequality ofparticipation' issue. The empirical result shows that in the 'giving' model,only the level of income, welfare organization activity, neighbor networkingvariables are statistically significant and in the ‘volunteering’ model, ratherthan income or education variables, such variables as welfare and civilsociety organization activities, networking with people in religious andwelfare organizations are statistically significant. The result reveals theimportance of the social networking among people in the participation ofgiving and volunteering.
