The participation of older Europeans in volunteer work (2006, background): “In addition to the burgeoning literature on volunteering in general (for reviews see Smith, D. H. 1994; Wilson 2000), there have been more specialised studies of older people’s involvement (e.g. Caro and Bass 1995a ; Choi 2003; Mutchler et al. 2003; Warburton and McLaughlin 2005).”
The Social Connectedness of Older Adults: A National Profile (2008, background): “Bereavement and retirement may increase volunteering, but there is mixed evidence for this (Ferraro 1984; Li 2007; Mutchler, Burr, and Caro 2003; Wilson and Musick 1997).”
Age Trends in Daily Social Contact Patterns (2011, background): “…work on this issue is grounded in analysis of social roles and identity or connectedness to social groups and networks (see e.g., Antonucci and Akiyama 1987; D. L. Morgan 1988; Lang and Carstensen 1994; Moen, Dempster-McClain, and Williams 1992; Mutchler, Burr, and Caro 2003; Shaw et al. 2007).”
Volunteering in Middle and Later Life: Is Health a Benefit, Barrier or Both? (2006, background): “Indeed, early research has shown that some forms of role loss (e.g., retirement) lead to an increase in volunteer work (Mutchler et al. 2003).”
Hourly Payment and Volunteering: The Effect of Organizational Practices on Decisions About Time Use (2007, background): “The vast majority of recent scholarship on time has focused on how little of it people in the United States think or feel they have for their lives outside of work—what Schor (1991) termed the plight of the “overworked American.”
Social Disconnectedness, Perceived Isolation, and Health among Older Adults (2009, unknown): “However, social participation and volunteering increase with age, partially due to increased free time brought by retirement (Cornwell, Laumann, and Schumm 2008; Mutchler, Burr, and Caro 2003).”
