The Determinants of Volunteering in Nordic Countries: Evidence from the European Values Survey

International Journal of Public Administration, 2015, vol. 38, issue 5, 364-370

Abstract: Using data from the European Values Study, this study applies the dominant status model of volunteering introduced by Smith (1994) to explain volunteering in Nordic countries. Consistent with the dominant status model, male gender, being married, and high educational attainment are important predictors of volunteering. However, this study also finds that in Nordic countries, neither income nor employment status has a statistically significant effect on an individual’s decision to volunteer.
