Abstract

Das ehrenamtliche Engagement ist in Deutschland in den letzten 30 Jahren laut repräsentativen Befragungsergebnissen des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) kontinuierlich gestiegen. Dazu trug sowohl die wachsende Bereitschaft junger Erwachsener bei, sich freiwillig ehrenamtlich zu engagieren, als auch das gestiegene Engagement Älterer, die zunehmend auch nach dem Renteneintritt ehrenamtlich aktiv sind. Der Generationenvergleich zeigt, dass sich die 68er-Generation der 1941 bis 1954 Geborenen beim Übergang in den Ruhestand besonders häufig engagiert. 29 Prozent der Angehörigen dieser Generation setzten ihr ehrenamtliches Engagement fort, 13 Prozent nahmen nach der Verrentung ein Ehrenamt auf. Damit zeigt sich diese Generation beim Übergang in den Ruhestand ehrenamtlich aktiver als ältere Geburtskohorten. Die Politik sollte dieses Potenzial künftig durch flexible und niedrigschwellige ehrenamtliche Einsatzmöglichkeiten fördern.
