International Comparative Study on Volunteering: An analysis of Public Survey Data in Canada and Korea

本研究旨在通过对加拿大和韩国的公众调查数据进行分析，推进志愿服务文化的国际比较研究。我们使用加拿大联邦政府1999年、2000年的NSGVP数据和2004年的CSGVP数据，以及韩国“志愿者21”组织1999年、2002年、2005年的SGVK数据和韩国政府1999年、2003年、2006年的社会统计数据。本研究分析了以下几点：1）男性和女性志愿者活动的生命周期分析。2)认真组与冷漠组志愿者活动的比较分析。3)志愿者活动优势分析。4)区域比较分析。5)影响志愿者活动水平的因素分析。我们特别发现，志愿者活动可能会促进收入的不平等，这是文化资本之一。（国际志愿者协会主席），Ki-Soo Eun博士（首尔国立大学国际关系研究生院社会学副教授）Agnes Meinhard博士（志愿服务机构研究中心主任，瑞尔森大学泰德罗杰斯管理学院副教授），迈克尔H。Hall（Imagine Canada副总裁）表示，我们可以首先于2008年1月在立命馆大学举办国际研讨会，然后于2009年3月在首尔国立大学举办国际研讨会，我们可以加强该领域研究人员的国际网络。

This project was carried out in order to advance the international comparative study on volunteering culture, by analyzing the public survey data of Canada & Korea. We use NSGVP data 1999, 2000, and CSGVP data2004, conducted by the Canadian Federal Government, as well as SGVK data 1999, 2002, 2005 conducted by “Volunteer 21" in Korea and Social Statistical data 1999, 2003, 2006 conducted by the Korean Government.Using these data sources, we analyzed the following points.1) Life-cycle analysis on volunteer activities of male and female. 2) Comparative analysis between Earnest group and Indifferent group for volunteer activities. 3) Analysis on Strengths gained from volunteer activities. 4) Regional comparative analysis. 5) Analysis on factors which influence the level of volunteer activities. We especially found that volunteer activities are likely to promote the inequality of income, functioning as one of the Cultural Capitals.Gaining collaboration with Dr. Kang Hyun Lee (President of International Association for Volunteer Effort), Dr. Ki-Soo Eun (Associate Professor of Sociology Graduate School of International Studies in Seoul National University), Dr. Agnes Meinhard (Director of Centre for Voluntary Sector Studies, Associate Professor of Ted Rogers School of Management in Ryerson University), Dr. Michael H. Hall (Vice President of Imagine Canada), we could hold the international symposium, firstly at Ritsumeikan University, January 2008, and secondly at Seoul National University, March 2009, and we could enhance the international network of researchers in this field.
