Abstract

Is voluntary work a pathway channeling transition for school to work, or from inactivity to activity, or rather a top up activity for those already employed? The paper aims to identify trends in the voluntary work in Romania as against EU countries, to profile the persons engaged in voluntary work, as well as to analyze the way the profile changed over time. Also, the article emphasizes the work related values of those involved in voluntary works. We base our analyses on the date sets of European Value Survey for the period 1990-2008 (three rounds). The survey is based on probabilistic samples that are representative for the population aged 18+ years old.
