Résumé anglais The author reflects on the information gained from an inquiry into volunteer work by older people, conducted in the context of a wide-ranging European research programme on ‘active aging'. In its general outline this comparative study was typical of a concern to put forward elucidations and recommendations for decision-takers intent on promoting ‘active aging'. In fact, the relatively new importance given to voluntary service in the context of this programme witnesses to a wider concern to build a ‘Europe for every age-group' that is not restricted to ‘active aging' on the job market. But making the professionalization of voluntary service the be-all and end-all of policy results in a circular argument. It comes to be part of the commonplace expectation that civil societies should become more competitive.
