• Abstract

  The German Survey on Volunteering (FWS) is a representative survey of voluntary activities of persons aged 14 and older in Germany. Volunteering and the willingness to volunteer can be reported and described among population groups and across regions. Additionally, volunteers as well as former volunteers and other persons who do not volunteer can be studied. The FWS provides a substantial database for the description of volunteering in Germany and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ)
  Data of the Survey on Volunteering have been recorded in 1999, 2004 and 2009. Since December 2011 it has been scientifically managed and supervised by the German Centre of Gerontology (DZA). The interviews of the fourth wave will be conducted by infas – Institute for Applied Social Sciences in 2014.
  

  SUF version 3.2 provides additional generated variables and a weighting factor that includes education. Moreover, minor changes in labels have been carried out. All changes from version 3.1 to 3.2 are documented in the User Manual.
