International voluntary work as a part of international migration

Abstrakti

Temporary international migration is an increasing phenomenon. One example of it is Voluntary Service Overseas, VSO’s functions to send skilled professionals to share their knowledge and experience with people living in poverty. VSO tackles poverty by using the skills, commitment and enthusiasm of individuals from around the world. For 50 years, it has been recruiting volunteers aged between 18 and 75 to live and work in the heart of local communities. Volunteers are employed by the partner organization in the country where they work for periods of between six weeks and two years.
