Abstract

<p>This study investigates the regional differences among nonprofit organizations (NPOs) in the field of community development based on the per capita average ordinary income of these NPOs in the same town, which shows the economic scale of these NPOs. This study uses 2013 data in the field of the community development in 19 prefectures in Japan. Among 885 towns within these prefectures, 515 have nonprofit organizations (NPOs) in the field of community development.The study result shows that the per capita average ordinary income of these NPOs in generally exhibits a downward trend as the population increase/decrease rate increases. In other words, the per capita average ordinary income of the NPOs in towns with the declining population is more than that of the NPOs in towns with a higher population increase rate. The population increase/decrease rate comprises three rates, birthrate, death rate, and social increase/decrease rate. Therefore, the population increase/decrease rate was divided into these tree rates, and multiple regression analysis was performed using each of the three rates.</p>
