Time format:
Years
Unit:
Percentage (comparable)
Description:

This dataset shows how often people engage in voluntary, charitable, or political activities outside of paid work (looking only at the population of people who engage in such activities at all). The figures shown indicate what percentage (%) of all respondents who are involved in voluntary, charitable, or political activities outside of paid work have selected each frequency category for each type of activity.

Respondents were asked about three types of activities:

  • Volunteering for an organisation outside of paid work (e.g. organisations helping people in need, educational/cultural/sports/professional associations, social movements, trade unions, etc.)
  • Actively performing charitable activities to help other people (e.g. fundraising, donations, in-kind support, etc.)
  • Being actively involved in political activities (e.g. running or helping a political campaign, signing a petition, protesting, contacting officials, etc.)

For each type of activity, respondents selected one frequency category from the following list:

  • Every day
  • 4 to 6 days a week
  • 1 to 3 days a week
  • Less often
  • Never

This indicator is disaggregated by the employment status of the respondent. It groups respondents as: Employed, Self-employed, Unemployed or Inactive.
