| Abstract | ||
| The study aimed to determine the level of (social-economic) return for women's voluntary participation in community initiatives. This study belongs to descriptive studies, and it used the comprehensive social survey method for female volunteers in community initiatives in civil society organizations in Cairo Governorate, numbering (113) individuals. The researchers applied a questionnaire form to the female volunteers. The results of the study proved that the level of (social-economic) return for women's voluntary participation in community initiatives is high, as the dimensions of the social return came in order (reinforcing the social values acquired from voluntary participation, strengthening women's social relations, developing life skills acquired from voluntary participation, developing knowledge acquired from voluntary participation), while the dimensions of the economic return came in order (improving women's standard of living, improving women's income level, increasing opportunities for women to obtain suitable work, and satisfying women's basic needs). Finally, the results of the study proved that there is no statistically significant difference between the responses of female volunteers according to (marital status - educational qualification) with regard to their determination of the level of social and economic return for women's voluntary participation in community initiatives. | ||
