Data extracted in May 2017. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database. Planned article update: June ????.

This article presents statistics on the involvement of people in social participation in the European Union (EU) in 2015. They are based on data currently available in Eurostat from the EU SILC ad-hoc 2015 Module on Social and cultural participation and Material deprivation which contains, among others, variables measuring social engagement and participation of people aged 16 and over.

For this article, we use the dimensions on formal and informal volunteering, active citizenship, having contact with family and friends, having someone for help or discuss personal matters and communication via social media (for detailed definitions, see the section on Data sources and availability). Active participation in cultural and social life is closely linked with the outlook on the living conditions by households and individuals. This also relates to the concepts of cultural- and social capital which, in addition to economic capital, has significance for the quality of life. Both concepts remind us that social networks and culture have value.

All these items relate to social capital which, in addition to economic and cultural capital, has significance for the quality of life. The concept of social capital can be understood as “networks together with shared norms, values and understandings that facilitate co-operation within or among groups” (OECD definition).

The analyses used for the article cover all EU Member States and several non-EU Member States.
