Isi artikel

The sustainability and fairness of drawing on low-income women and to a lesser extent men for volunteer community health labor are hotly-contested and increasingly studied (Akintola, 2008; Maes, forthcoming; Maes, Hadley, Tesfaye, & Shifferaw, 2010; Maes, Shifferaw, Hadley, & Tesfaye, 2010; Rödlach, 2009; Swidler & Watkins, 2009). In some nations, delivery of health care services, goods and technologies relies heavily upon volunteer labor. At a societal level, large volunteer programs depend upon (i) expansive "pools" of people who are available (often because of underemployment) to serve as unpaid labor and (ii) the legal status of organizing and using unpaid labor. The promotion of volunteerism also depends on the perceived health needs of communities and the empowerment of communities to advocate for public and private (mixed) services that might meet their needs.
