How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly 30% of people in Lake Conjola spend 15 or more hours a week on unpaid housework, a figure well above the national average. This high level of domestic work is part of a broader trend toward unpaid care in the area, though it is paired with a very low rate of child care.
