Cool stat

Heard a stat the other day that '40% of younge Australians aged 15-25 do volunteer work'

I was impressed with that! (that means there's still 60% not doing anything but still 40% not bad at all).

    Interesting stat Mim!

    I guess that bursts the bubble of those who say that we are the most egotistical and selfish generation of all. But then again the majority (60%) still hasn't embraced the trend.

    Did your source quote any specific qualifier (i.e. number hours, etc), or just involved in work in general? What was the source?

    Sorry Wayne forgot the exact source- heard it on TV (so it must be true!!) shameful- Uni would have me kicked out!
    (Could check the Aust buero of stats- they have a tun of stuff)

    Didn't go into detail about hours etc- stats a more quanitative than qual.
