Pomanjkanje delovne sile v dolgotrajni oskrbi je vse večji izziv, zato številne evropske države sistematično vključujejo prostovoljce kot dopolnilni vir oskrbe starejših odraslih. Raziskava, izvedena na fokusnih skupinah s 53 udeleženci, analizira ključne ovire in sistemske ukrepe za izboljšanje prostovoljskega angažmaja. Ugotovitve kažejo, da vključevanje prostovoljcev omejujejo pomanjkljiva koordinacija, nejasne vloge in nizka družbena prepoznavnost prostovoljstva. Mladi prostovoljci se soočajo s psihološkimi in logističnimi izzivi. Dodatno oviro predstavlja odsotnost formalnih spodbud, kot so davčne olajšave in certifikati. Raziskava poudarja potrebo po zakonski ureditvi, vključitvi prostovoljstva v izobraževalni sistem ter profesionalizaciji koordinacije. Inovativni modeli, kot so časovne banke in medijske kampanje, bi prispevali k večji družbeni legitimnosti prostovoljskega dela, okrepili medgeneracijsko solidarnost ter izboljšali kakovost oskrbe starejših odraslih.
