DOES IT PAY FOR WOMEN TO VOLUNTEER?
研究估算女性志愿工作对工资和终身收入的影响，发现一年志愿经历使未来兼职工资提高8.5%、全职提高2.6%，终身收入平均增加16.7%，且经济回报大于非经济回报。
This article estimates the economic and noneconomic returns to volunteering for prime‐aged women. Estimates of a DCDP model indicate that an extra year of volunteer experience increases wage offers by 8.5% in future part‐time work and by 2.6% in future full‐time work. On average, working for free increases lifetime earnings by 16.7%. The economic returns to volunteering are more important than the noneconomic returns in increasing lifetime utility. The model also reveals an adverse selection mechanism into volunteering that helps explain why reduced‐form regressions of the returns to working for free will likely be downward biased.
