Project description

This project examines, through an organizational perspective, how access to volunteering and task/job allocation in volunteering are unequally divided, hence reproduce social inequality through volunteering. Through unique, representative survey data on volunteering in Belgium, combined with
a qualitative analysis of organizational fields, it is examined how this differs between different volunteering sectors.
