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. |
