La crisis del modelo de Estado de Bienestar durante los años 80 y la necesaria reestructuración del mismo para el mantenimiento de los derechos adquiridos en los escenarios de protección viene siendo planteado a través de soluciones mixtas por parte de los estados de la UE. La búsqueda de soluciones alternativas ha favorecido la incorporación de las entidades no lucrativas así como las empresas en el sostenimiento de dichos sistemas de bienestar.

Volunteer work is a crucial renewable resource for social and environmental problem-solving the world over. Despite the contributions that volunteer work makes both to the volunteers themselves and to the beneficiaries of their generosity, however, little sustained effort has gone into the measurement of the scope, scale, or distribution of such work. What efforts have been made to measure volunteering have been sporadic and frequently uncoordinated, leaving us without up-to-date, reliable data on the scope of this important social and economic phenomenon.
