Embora, muitas vezes, abordados como objetos distintos existe uma inequívoca relação de proximidade entre os mundos do voluntariado e do emprego, relação ancorada, principalmente, num tronco histórico comum. Contudo, nem sempre se apresentam nítidos os contornos desse relacionamento. Atualmente, assiste-se a um aumento gradual da interpenetração entre as duas esferas, visível não só em termos conceptuais e de linguagem, como também no âmbito das práticas sociais e das políticas públicas. Incidindo sobre a realidade portuguesa, a análise destaca o carácter complementar do trabalho de voluntariado face ao trabalho remunerado. Observando uma maior “convergência” do mundo do voluntariado face ao mundo do emprego adverte para o risco de lhe serem “retiradas” algumas das suas características intrínsecas, nomeadamente: o ser desinteressado, de iniciativa pessoal, não remunerado e em prol de um terceiro. Da mesma forma, aponta para um risco maior: o trabalho voluntário poder substituir o trabalho remunerado.
While often discussed as separate objects, there is a clear relationship of proximity between the worlds of volunteering and employment, being this relationship anchored, mainly, on a common historical core. Nevertheless, this relationship, has not always sharp contours. Currently, we are witnessing a gradual increase of interpenetration between the two spheres, visible not only in conceptual terms and language, but also in the context of social practices and public policies. Focusing on the Portuguese reality, the analysis highlights the complementary nature of voluntary work to paid work force. Seeing this growing "convergence" in the world of volunteering and employment, warns us of the risk of being "withdrawn" some of its intrinsic characteristics, namely: being selfless, with personal initiative, unpaid and in favor of a third party. Likewise, points to an increased risk: volunteering can substitute for paid work.
