Community Participation in Clarkson
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Few shifts have occurred in how people contribute to their community in Clarkson since 2011. While volunteering rates have barely changed, a much higher proportion of residents than the national average now provide unpaid childcare. This trend exists alongside a lower-than-usual level of general community volunteering.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 10.4% of people here volunteer, which is well below the figures for Western Australia and the rest of the country. This rate has remained almost the same since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid childcare is common, with 31.5% of residents providing this care, which is well above the national figure. However, the proportion of people doing significant unpaid housework or providing other unpaid care is much lower than in most areas.
