Volunteering as leisure/ leisure as volunteering an international assessment

According to Jeremy Rifkin (1995), Aronowitz and DiFazio (1994) and others, the industrialized world has now entered the early years of the Information Age. Here it is gripped by dramatic declines in employment and public-sector service paralleled by a concomitant rise in the third sector as well as personal and collective dependency on the volunteers comprising it. Moreover, the twin ideas that work is inherently good and that, when it can be found, people should do it (instead of leisure) are being increasingly challenged.
Applebaum (1992, p. 587) writes that ‘with increases in the standard of living, consumerism, and leisure activities, the work ethic must compete with the ethic of the quality of life based on the release from work’.
