In this article, the researchers build on an earlier body of research to verify any truth behind the assumption that volunteer work helps people get good jobs. A survey of related literature regarding volunteering and employment is presented. The analytical design of the research is discussed. The researchers use the National Longitudinal Survey of the Labor Market Experience of Young Women which provides the data to be applied for the theory. The young women in the experiment exhibit a fairly conventional life-course trajectory as they move from early adulthood to the middle ages. The social mechanisms linking voluntarism and employment is discussed. |

Women's Labor Force Participation And Volunteer Work Working Paper, The Aspen Institute, Non-profit Sector Research Fund, 2000. Also: http://www.nonprofitresearch.org/newsletter1531/newsletter_show.htm?doc_id=17385 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: Aspen Institute Keyword(s): Volunteer Work Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. As women entered the workforce in greater numbers, there was an unsubstantiated fear that women's access to paid labor would diminish the supply of volunteer labor. However, this study reveals that such fears are unfounded, although work and volunteering affect each other both negatively and positively. Overall, women who volunteer find greater success in the workplace. The researchers considered data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, managed by the Center for Human Resource Research at Ohio State University, and conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Census. This survey was conducted to be representative of all Americans born during a given time period. Information about volunteering was gathered from mature women in 1974, 1976, 1979, 1981, and 1984. Data on volunteering were gathered from young women in 1973, 1978, 1988, and 1991. |
