ABSTRACT: This work aims at
describing the trends observed since the beginning of the crisis in the supply
of and demand for volunteers. Few works exist that examine this dynamic, for
the lack of recent data, and because the study of the demand for volunteers and
for volunteers services is still rather undeveloped. Some hints appear that
indicate: 1) an increase in the stock of volunteers, but not in every country,
2) an increase in demand for volunteers services.
