| Tiivistelmä: | This study explores socio-economic (herein as: soc-ecn.) effects of voluntary (henceforth as: vol.) association (as: asctn/s.) involvement, which is an important source of weak ties for getting a better job. It is determined to what extent better soc-ecn. outcomes are caused by involvement. It is tested whether specific vol. asctn/s. provide larger soc-ecn. payoffs than others. Life course data from the Family Survey of the Dutch Population 2000 is used to test the hypotheses. It is shown that members are more likely to start better new jobs as to status and earnings than those of non-members. In addition, volunteering is beneficial when entering the labour market for the first time. Moreover, members of asctn/s. with more high status co-members are more likely to get a new job, with a higher status, as well. Thus, vol. asctn/s. involvement undoubtedly pays off. |
