Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to measure the potential for volunteering and to analyze and understand the determinants of participation in volunteering. The data comes from a survey of students enrolled at two open-access institutions of the Cadi Ayyad University in Morocco. Using Tobit model, which combines both continuous and discrete variables, the results show a high potential supply of volunteering compared to the supply actually realized and a high potential supply of female students compared to that of male students. The potential volunteering supply comes much more from students from a low socioeconomic status as measured by the level of education of the parents. Student members of associations are predisposed to perform voluntary tasks, and this offer increases with seniority in the association. Age is positively correlated with the potential supply of volunteering. The motivational framework can strengthen the potential supply of volunteering.
