The study aims to examine the mediating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between youth’s social participation and social unrest. The data from a study of social unrest in Korea carried out by the KIHASA were analyzed, and a total number of 1,793 youth were included in this study. The findings of the study were as follow. First, the level of social unrest in youth was reported to be above average, and a high level of social unrest in the area of competition and inequality as well as fairness were identified among others. Second, there was a difference in the level of social unrest according to the types of social participation. Third, the number of factors leading to the competition and inequality of social unrest were the highest, compared with the other areas of social unrest. Fourth, social participation was effective in serving as a mediator on the relationship between social participation and social unrest. It is expected to contribute to draw a number of policy and practical implications.
