Reasons Why Canadian Seniors Volunteer.
Chappell, Neena L.; Prince, Michael J.
Canadian Journal on Aging, v16 n2 p336-53 Sum 1997
A study examined types of and reasons for volunteering among Canadian adults over 64 (n=1,569) and compared them with those given by adults aged 45-64 (n=5,563). Results indicate that the older group volunteers out of self-interest and are more likely to volunteer because of a feeling of obligation and social value than those aged 45-64. (JOW)
