Community Participation in Bolivia

How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.

A quarter of the people in Bolivia volunteer their time, making it a place where community contribution is far more common than in most other areas. This high level of engagement stands in contrast to the low number of people providing unpaid care or who have served in the Defence Force.
