This figure rose to 47% of over-55s \u2013 compared with just 12% of 18-24s.<\/p>\n<p>Younger people were doing more good work, with the 25-34 age group bearing most of the burden of volunteer work. The number of hours spent volunteering is higher in younger age groups: those under 35 said they spent an average of two hours a week volunteering, compared with the hour that over-55s claimed to spend.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Jones, director at the innovation charity Nesta, which carried out the research, said the notion that the \u201cbaby boomer\u201d generation wouldn\u2019t volunteer was a \u201creal worry\u201d for the sector. \u201cThe voluntary and charitable sector really relies on those over-50s with a bit more time on their hands,\u201d he said. \u201cIf people now hitting that age range aren\u2019t going to be helping in their community but just thinking about themselves and going to Alicante, or whatever, we\u2019ve got a challenge ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said younger people recognised the value of charitable work: \u201cThey see it as a win-win: giving back, helping their own CVs and making an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The research, to be published this week, found that, on average, the public spend one hour 47 minutes volunteering each week, compared with 12 hours 40 minutes watching TV, nearly three hours commuting and two hours in the pub. (Respondents spent less time in the gym \u2013 one hour 28 minutes \u2013 and queueing for coffee \u2013 45 minutes.) Men were more likely than women to help an elderly neighbour: 34% compared with 30% of women.<\/p>\n<p>Respondents believed the average volunteer to be female, over 60 and a grandparent, which used to be the case, said Jones. \u201cEarlier surveys showed that about 40% of people volunteered once a year and 25% once a month,\u201d Jones said. \u201cIt\u2019s always been the case that women volunteer more than men so it\u2019s striking to see the swapping over in the trends.
