Volunteering is increasingly important in nowadays businesses. Not only accessory functions are being performed by volunteers but all kind of administrative job is being undertook by volunteers of all kind. 

 

The time passed in a certain activity may count even as a full time job in some cases while receiving invoices to pay as any other individual who is regularly paid for the services provided. This creates a counterproductive buffer in the economic cycle made of burden as many of the volunteers even do not get sufficient support from the common social security. 

Those who have never worked or even migrants may face difficulties as well during a period of time. 

 

At the same time the volunteering workforce creates value for many companies and associations active in the profit or non profit sector. That value is transformed into goods and services for the society. 

 

  • Is an European Fund for a Social Security of Volunteering that guarantees a revenue to all those who actually work without being remunerated? 
  • The question is which will be the sources of financing? 

 

Speakers: TBD.
