To that end, we focus in volunteer rates at individual and national levels. We have drawn our data from the European Values Survey (EVS, 1999 and 2008). We have employed Logit models carrying out independent estimations for the individual likelihood of working as a volunteer for four categories: social awareness, professional, education and social justice. We have carried out independent estimations and we have also repeated estimations by gender subsamples. Our main result is that social factors might be even more relevant for decisions to volunteer than individual socio-economic factors. Specifying the peer group as much as possible allows better control of social variables. For example, studying the female volunteer rate is more relevant to control for the female national NGO membership rate than the total national rate. We also highlight important gender differences. For example, education is positively correlated with decisions to volunteer for both genders in all categories, but the educational effect is stronger for men in relation to professional activities and stronger for women in relation to social awareness and social justice activities. 000130952 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 000130952 590__ $$a1.585$$b2019 000130952 591__ $$aSOCIAL ISSUES$$b22 / 44 = 0.5$$c2019$$dQ2$$eT2 000130952 591__ $$aWOMEN'S STUDIES$$b13 / 45 = 0.289$$c2019$$dQ2$$eT1 000130952 591__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES, INTERDISCIPLINARY$$b47 / 108 = 0.435$$c2019$$dQ2$$eT2 000130952 592__ $$a0.778$$b2019 000130952 593__ $$aArts and Humanities (miscellaneous)$$c2019$$dQ1 000130952 593__ $$aSocial Sciences (miscellaneous)$$c2019$$dQ1 000130952 593__ $$aGender Studies$$c2019$$dQ1 000130952 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000130952 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-1745-8037$$aMarcuello, C.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130952 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2807-3482$$aSaz-Gil, M.I.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130952 7102_ $$14012$$2650$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
