LEGISLATIVE RETROSPECT OF VOLUNTEERING IN ROMANIA
LEGISLATIVE RETROSPECT OF VOLUNTEERING IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: We are going to approach volunteering, as it is regulated by the national legislation, without claiming an exhaustive advance. We consider useful to point out the important milestones of the national legal framework in terms of volunteering. As far as the national legislation is concerned, we will focus on volunteering in social services for the elderly and on the youth involvement in the activities regarding elderly people. Young and old people represent human resources that are not enough used, but which have a willingness to invest their efforts for the wellbeing of others. Social solidarity and an increased social cohesion between generations are promoted at the social policy level. We consider volunteering the "bridge" between generations and a long-term guarantee of social cohesion in a society. We hope this paper would represent the starting point for a comprehensive study of the legislation on volunteering in social services.
