Report on Paid Work, UBC
This report presents findings from two online surveys of undergraduate students at UBC about their term-time work in 2018 and 2019. This was the first phase of the Hard Working Student study. We found that more than half (55%) of the respondents worked during the first semester of 2018, and a slightly greater proportion (57%) worked during the first semester of 2019. Students worked an average of 14.3 hours per week in 2018 and 16 hours in 2019.

Report on Unpaid Work, UBC
This report presents findings from the same two online surveys of undergraduate students at UBC about their unpaid work in 2018 and 2019. Almost half (49%) of the undergraduate students were involved in volunteer work in 2018, while a slightly smaller proportion of students (44%) reported participating in volunteer activities in 2019. The report explores students’ motivations for pursuing unpaid work, as well as its impact on their development of skills, future education and career plans, and interest in university (compared to their paid work).
