Community Participation in Burraga
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A striking gap in unpaid care defines Burraga, where many more people provide unpaid support to others than in most other areas. While 16.4% of residents provide unpaid care, very few are looking after children. This suggests a community focused on supporting adults or the elderly rather than young families.
