It further scrutinises whether the relationship between well-being and volunteering changes throughout one's life course. The result reveals that social capital overall positively correlates with subjective well-being. It further suggests that trust and volunteering have a positive relation to one's subjective well-being, whereas membership did not. It also became apparent that volunteering is associated with one's subjective well-being differently depending on one's life stage measured by age category such that volunteers in their 1950s are less happy than volunteers in their 1960s. The results of analysis therefore suggest that the relationship between volunteering and well-being is not straightforward, and that this issue requires even further investigation.
