This study tries to examine the social capital of Korean elementary school students using the KYPS database. The KYPS was surveyed by Korea Institute for Youth Development(KIYD) in order to assess Korean students` school life. We find that social capital is related to parents education, school location, and class-level grade. Thus, for Korean elementary students, the levels of social capital can be increased by female students and class-level grade. We also discuss the implications of these findings for making Korean elementary students to actively increase their social capital.
