Some of the issues addressed include the main incentives and impediments to elderly volunteerism, the various forms of unpaid productive work and how they affect the health and well-being of the volunteer, and the recruitment of elderly volunteers that is done by various organizations. For policymakers, economists, sociologists, gerontologists, and social services agencies, this is an indispensable resource for the future. 410 0$aAmerica's aging. 606 $aOlder people$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aVoluntarism$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aOlder people 615 0$aVoluntarism 676 $a305.2/6 712 12$aSymposium on Unpaid Productive Roles in an Aging Society$f(1983 :$eWashington, D.C.?) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961624603321 996 $aAmerica's aging$94362198 997 $aUNINA
