Abstract or Description

This paper is based on a study commissioned by the International Forum for Volunteering in Development with two objectives: to deepen Forum members’ collective understanding of inequalities in volunteering research, their root causes and how they are manifested; and to use this improved understanding to propose concrete ways in which a range of actors in the volunteering research space can address these inequalities.

The report addressing these objectives through two research questions –

Why is there inequality in volunteering research?

How does inequality in volunteering research manifest?

Based on the findings from these questions, it goes on to ask what concrete proposals can be made in which a range of actors in the volunteering research space can address inequality in volunteering research.

In the report, the research findings are presented in three sections:

(1) Why is there inequality in volunteering research and how does it manifest?

(2) Implications of the imbalances; and

(3) How do we change inequalities in volunteering research?
