The End of Volunteering

Volunteering has a rich history, spanning centuries and cultures. It embodies the spirit of altruism, community engagement, and selfless service. From assisting in disaster relief to contributing to social causes, volunteers have played a vital role in shaping societies and addressing unmet needs. While the motivations behind volunteering are diverse, they often stem from a desire to make a positive impact, gain experience, or connect with others.

Existing Arrangements

Volunteering continues to be a significant force in contemporary society, with millions of people across the globe contributing their time and skills to various causes. However, the landscape of volunteering is also evolving, influenced by factors such as technological advancements, changing social norms, and economic realities. In some instances, concerns have arisen about the potential exploitation of volunteers, particularly in situations where they perform tasks that would otherwise be paid jobs.

BP Money and the End of Volunteering

The emergence of the 
ByProducts Economy with its associated BP Money system, proposes a radical shift in the way labor is valued and compensated. Central to this model is the principle that all labor must be remunerated, even for activities traditionally considered voluntary.

This has profound implications for the concept of volunteering as we know it. In the 
ByProducts Economy (+BP Money), there's no place for unpaid labor, as every contribution to the economy is recognized and rewarded with BP Money. This is further reinforced by the Microeconomic Liberalization "Pilotships" framework, where even pilot projects are allocated a quantum of "pilot workers" who receive compensation for their contributions.

Rationale for the End of Volunteering
  • Fairness and Equity: The ByProducts Economy (+BP Money) aims to create a more equitable society where all labor is valued and compensated fairly. This eliminates the potential for exploitation of volunteers, ensuring that everyone receives appropriate remuneration for their efforts.
  • Economic Efficiency: By ensuring that all labor is accounted for within the Multi-Roster system, the ByProducts Economy (+BP Money) aims to optimize resource allocation and maximize productivity.
  • Incentivizing Participation: Remunerating all forms of labor, including those traditionally considered voluntary, can incentivize greater participation in community and social initiatives, as individuals are recognized and rewarded for their contributions.
Recognising and Remunerating Work Done

The Free World Industrial Settlement's principle of remunerating all labor challenges traditional notions of volunteering. While the intention is to create a fairer and more equitable system, it also raises important questions about the future of community engagement and social responsibility. A successful transition to the ByProducts Economy (+BP Money) will rely on innovative approaches to fostering a culture of contribution and collective action consistent with Microeconomic Liberalisation's Pilotship regime.
