This study provides empirical evidence on volunteering and unpaid work activities in the European Union. The definition of volunteering is challenging, particularly in a cross-country comparison. A clear distinction between formal and informal volunteering is desirable but difficult to achieve, given that traditions and perceptions in the Member States are diverse. This study focuses on formal volunteering - that is, voluntary work performed in an organised manner, usually under the auspices of an organisation. The findings are based on the second European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS), which was carried out by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) in 2007. Among the issues examined in this study are the factors underpinning people's decision to volunteer, the amount of time devoted to volunteering among those who participate and whether participation is associated with greater life satisfaction. The study also looks at unpaid work, which includes caring and housework, the amount of time spent on it and the characteristics of those frequently involved in it. |
