| Summary: | Volunteerism refers to voluntary activities that are not intended to obtain material
rewards. It is also activities that benefit volunteers as well as to assist societies either
formally or informally and also involve individual or collective action. Volunteerism is a
global issue that is increasingly gaining attention due to its importance to individuals,
communities, and countries. The contribution of undergraduate's student volunteering
is not only seen through self-development and society but also on the economic
development of the nation. However, people often overlook the issue and link
productivity and economic generation to the public and private sectors. This situation
caused the voluntary value being economically vague and less attention in most
countries especially in developing countries. In this regard, the study was conducted to
see how the involvement of undergraduate's students in volunteerism impacts the
economic value of a country. In order to see clearly the contribution of volunteering
from the economic point of view, the value of engagement time in volunteerism is
converted into the number of paid employees and the amount of money. |
