Participation of the Population of Ukraine in Voluntary and Charitable Activities
Journal Title: Соціологічні студії - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Based on World Giving Index the main trends of voluntary and charitable activities in Eastern European countries are identified, in particular, there are the decrease of participation in volunteering activities and increase of donations of money, and the presence of positive dynamics in Ukraine (World Giving Index increase by 16 % for 6 years). According to GFK Ukraine data, we can assert that the indicator of participation in volunteering increased and the direction of the volunteers in Ukraine changed - help to the Ukrainian army (70% in 2014) is the most common form of volunteering, whilst the help to the elderly, and disabled, and children, etc. (38% in 2014, 72% for 2014) became the second. Differences between results of studies of volunteerism - GFK Ukraine and Gallup’s WorldView World Poll - confirmed that Ukrainian participation in voluntary activities has inconsistent character. However, the high level of trust in the volunteers is an evidence of the formation of the volunteering in Ukraine as a social institute.
