Some people think that young people should be required to do unpaid work helping
people in the community. Are disadvantages of this requirement greater than the benefits
for the community and individuals?
It is true that volunteer work provides great benefits for both participants and the community. However, forcing the youth to engage in those activities may be counterproductive, as now will be explained.
On the one hand, if young people were required to do social jobs for free, there would be certain advantages for all sides related. A vast majority of the younger population are energetic, dynamic and passionate about improving themselves, and it is the unpaid work that can satisfy that demand.
