Abstract
The value of this article is in analysing primary data to show that, while rising education levels do not spur differential rates of electoral participation, they do trigger differential rates of non-electoral participation. Since non-electoral participation is increasingly a tool for citizens to register their demands, the identified ‘participation gap’ is a significant social phenomenon. While the finding is not new, the chapter was its most significant recent statement, and as such has been drawn on by a variety of policy makers (eg. recent POWER report on democracy in Britain).
