Attitudes Of Young People Under 30 To Active Citizenship And Volunteering

Summary/Abstract: Young people are a generation that engages in active public life, so we have explored ways in which young people under 30 are involved in private and public life. Research study from 2020 involved 284 people who became volunteers during high school and university and continue to volunteer and carry out regular activities for different target groups. The sample consisted of 57% of women and 43% of men at age of 18–30. From the analysis of the results, we found out what the current profile of volunteers is, which motives encourage young people under 30 to volunteer work. We also analysed the character profile of volunteers and their active citizenship. The Slovak Republic’s Youth Strategy for 2014–2020 sets out the strategic objectives of youth policy, one of which is volunteering. At present, volunteering is strongly influenced by demographic trends related to population aging and modernization or digitalization.
