Title Voluntarism and Socio-Economic Development: Some Key Questions for Research
Abstract
A list of the basic issues that have to be faced in the study of
volunteerism & SE development in lesser developed countries (LDCs)
is presented. Considerations should include: (1) the value of
encouraging voluntary action in LDCs for its own sake, (2) the
relationship between volunteerism & SE development, (3) the
institutional structures most likely to facilitate development, &
the relationship of voluntary associations & other groups to these
structures, (4) the effect of program sponsorship on development, (5)
whether indigenous voluntary organizations should be specifically
supported, (6) the most effective geographical organization of
voluntary associations, (7) the types of voluntary groups that most
facilitate development in LDCs, (8) the best means to support
volunteerism, (9) supporting voluntary organizations without
disrupting them, & (10) the more general political questions
regarding the role of voluntary associations in SE development. M.
