| Research Abstract |
This study deals with religions as social capital. Nationally less than 30 per cent of the Japanese recognize themselves as religious. Under such circumstances, some religions have been involved in social contribution activities which include relief activities during emergencies and disasters, support activities in developing countries, peace movements, the promotion of education and culture, and human resource training. This research showed that religions in Japan can be a social resource to foster a spirit of mutual cooperation as social capital.
