Mature and Young Women's Volunteer Work, 1974-1981 Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1986. Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Employment; Labor Force Participation; Volunteer Work Data from the NLS of Young and Mature Women (1974-1981) are used to examine the determinants and consequences of volunteer work. Descriptive results show remarkable aggregate-level stability across time in voluntary participation. The cross-sectional relationship between volunteer work and labor force participation was found to be negative. Over the long run, employed women who also do volunteer work experience lower earnings. Increased volunteer work was found to be related to relatively high levels of education, training, work experience, and occupational prestige. Hence, volunteer work substitutes for paid market work in the short run, but enhances accumulated human capital in the long run. |
