Sisällön kuvaus

This survey studied voluntary activities of Finnish people. The data were collected by Taloustutkimus and the study was commissioned by Kansalaisareena (Citizen Forum), HelsinkiMissio and the Church Council. First, the study charted how many hours the respondents had spent within the previous four weeks on voluntary work in different fields (e.g. social welfare and health care, sports, children and youth, culture, immigrants). Additionally, the study surveyed the type, duration and regularity of the voluntary work as well as whether it was organised by an association/organisation.

The survey also examined the types of tasks included in the voluntary work (e.g. soup kitchen work, fundraising, positions of trust, group instruction, cleaning, providing peer support). The respondents' opinions were charted with regard to a set of attitudinal statements concerning, for example, whether children should be taught voluntary work as part of their education, whether more peer support should be available in health care, and whether the respondents would be interested in trying voluntary work during work time or as part of studies if a possibility was given for this. Some questions also concerned the use of different types of search engines on the Internet designed for finding voluntary work. Reasons for not participating in voluntary activities were also charted.

Background variables included, among others, gender, age, economic activity and occupational status, marital status, household composition, number of children under 18 living at home and their ages, income (respondent and household), education, type of apartment, political party preference, and regional variables such as NUTS3 region, number of inhabitants in R's municipality of residence, and type of the municipality (urban, semi-urban, rural).

Otantamenetelmä

Non-probability: Quota

The interviews were conducted as part of Taloustutkimus' Omnibus face-to-face interviews conducted mainly at respondents' homes. The sampling method was a starting point system where a random address is selected as a starting point for the interviews. During data collection, approximately one thousand persons aged 15 - 74 residing in Finland were interviewed. The Finnish Population Information System was used to form quotas representative of the Finnish population according to gender, age, region of residence, and number of inhabitants in the respondent's municipality of residence.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

The data do not contain the questionnaire. Background variables were numbered in the order that they appeared in the first dataset in the series (FSD3276). The background variables included for the first time in this survey were placed in numbered order after the other background variables.

To prevent identification of individuals, variable bv23 denoting municipality of residence was removed during archiving as well as variables denoting questionnaire ID and postal code.

Open-ended resposes were removed by the researcher before archiving.

Painokertoimet

The data include a weight variable (paino) which weights the data to be representative of the target population in terms of gender, age, region of residence and number of persons living in the household.
