After adding up some of these numbers, Chen Chin-kuei puts the participation rate at over 16 %. And the Ministry of the Interior's 2000 report Attitudes of People in Taiwan toward Social Welfare Measures estimates that 25 % of the island's people have participated in some sort of volunteer activities.
如果合併計算，陳金貴估計，台灣的志工參與率至少在 16％以上，內政部二○○○年「台灣省省民對社會福利措施意向」報告中，則估計全國有 25％的民眾參與過志願服務。
