Acts of political participation require the expenditure of resources such as time, money, or expertise. The wealthy are more than twice as likely as those in low-income groups to participate in all forms of political activity. Better-educated individuals are more likely to engage in electoral activities and community activities. Religious institutions with open leadership positions often provide opportunities to learn civic skills. Upper-income jobs provide more opportunities than low-skill jobs to develop resources that are useful for political life.
