This paper examines the factors that determine participation in volunteer activities by older persons, as well as their willingness to take part. The examination is based on empirical analysis, using microdata from a survey on middle-aged and older persons. Many Japanese workers reach mandatory retirement at age 60, and particularly among men, retiring from the market labor force represents a major turning point. The analysis results reveal that participation in volunteer activities by older persons is in a trade-off relationship with market labor based on wages; the probability of taking part in volunteer activities tends to be lower if the market wage rate is higher. Among men, a relationship is seen between age and participation in volunteer activities, and the results reveal that the probability of their participation in volunteering forms a U-shape bottoming at age 60.
