各种研究表明，虽然西方社会制度化和选举形式的政治参与正在减少，但非制度化的参与形式（如示威、政治消费主义或签署请愿书）却在增加。然而，公民政治行动范围的扩大也带来了平等参与机会的问题。可以说，当代民主参与的理想假定公民利益的平等代表。在本文中，我们使用 2004 年 ISSP 调查的比较数据分析了参与模式的平等性。我们的研究结果表明，非制度化的参与形式增加了由于教育而导致的不平等模式，但大大减少甚至扭转了性别和年龄不平等。因此，从维护平等参与民主决策程序的角度来看，制度化和非制度化的参与形式都具有特定的（不利）优势。
Various studies suggest that while institutionalised and electoral forms of political participation are in decline in Western societies, non-institutionalised forms of participation (like demonstrating, political consumerism or signing petitions) are on the rise. However, this expansion of the political action repertoire of citizens also entails the question of equal participation opportunities. It can be argued that contemporary ideals of democratic participation assume an equal representation of citizens' interests. In this article we analyse the equality of participation patterns using comparative data from the 2004 ISSP survey. Our results suggest that non-institutionalised forms of participation increase patterns of inequality due to education but strongly reduce or even reverse gender and age inequalities. As such, both institutionalised and non-institutionalised forms of participation have specific (dis)advantages from the perspective of preserving equal access to democratic decision-making procedures.
