Description:

Looking only at the population of those who are involved in voluntary, charitable, or political activities outside of paid work, this dataset shows how many hours in a typical week such people spend on these activities. The numbers indicate what percentage (%) of all respondents involved in voluntary, charitable, or political activities outside of paid work have selected each hour band.

Respondents were asked "How many hours in a typical week do you spend voluntary, charitable or political activities outside of paid work?" They selected one hour band from the following list:

  • 1-7 weekly hours (e.g. approx. 1 hour per day)
  • 8-21 weekly hours (e.g. more than 1 up to 3 hours per day)
  • 22-35 weekly hours (e.g. more than 3 up to 5 hours per day)
  • 36-49 weekly hours (e.g. more than 5 up to 7 hours per day)
  • 50-70 weekly hours (e.g. more than 7 up to 10 hours per day)
  • 71 or more weekly hours (e.g. more than 10 hours per day)

This indicator is disaggregated by the education level of the respondent. Responses were grouped into three levels of education according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED): “Low” (ISCED 0–2), “Medium” (ISCED 3–4) and “High” (ISCED 5–8). ISCED levels are: 0 Pre-primary education; 1 Primary education; 2 Lower secondary education or equivalent; 3 Secondary education (e.g. high school); 4 Post-secondary education non-tertiary (e.g. technical education lasting minimum 6 months); 5 Short-cycle tertiary (e.g. advanced vocational education lasting minimum 2 years); 6 University: Bachelor’s or equivalent level; 7 University: Master’s or equivalent level; 8 University: Doctoral (PhD) or equivalent level.
