“…The aim of this article, therefore, is to revisit the determinants of volunteering in the United Kingdom, through a key empirical contribution, to further inform volunteering recruitment and promotion in the light of the pressing generally accepted policy need for a greater volunteer base. There is a considerable literature exploring the motivations for volunteering (e.g., Cabrera et al, 2014;Chen & Chen, 2011;Clary & Snyder, 1999;Lockstone-Binney et al, 2015) and determinants of volunteering (e.g., Bauer et al, 2013;Dawson & Downward, 2013;Hallmann, 2015;Taylor et al, 2012;Ziemek, 2006). Surprisingly, however, while there is an important growing literature that examines how family and social-economic transitions influence volunteering in a longitudinal setting (Einolf, 2018;Lancee & Radl, 2014;Nesbit, 2012), there is no research that examines the longitudinal choice to volunteer specifically in connection with the opportunity to allocate leisure time.…”
