Abstract
This study aims to examine the relationship between paid labor and unpaid voluntary labor. Specifically, we investigate if the two forms of labor are substitutes or complements. For analysis, we divide research subjects into two groups economically inactive and active populations - and further classify the latter group into three categories-unemployed, part-time workers, and full-time workers. Analysis results indicate that the volunteer rates are high in the order of (1) part-time workers, (2) full-time workers, (3) the unemployed, and (4) the economically inactive; the volunteer rate of the employed including part-time and full-time workers is higher than that of the economically inactive. Findings suggest that the social integration hypothesis, according to which people with jobs are more likely to volunteer than those without one, has greater relevance to the Korea society over the time squeeze hypothesis. Based on the findings, we provide the implications for future research and practical applications.
