Community Participation in Norway
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Much lower levels of unpaid care and volunteering define Norway compared to similar areas. While a striking 38.6% of people spend 15 or more hours a week on housework, other forms of community contribution are quite low.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 12.3% of residents volunteer, which is much lower than most similar areas and a little below the Australian figure of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
A very high 38.6% of people do 15 or more hours of unpaid housework, far above the national figure of 20.7%. In contrast, no one here provides unpaid childcare, and those providing other unpaid care are much fewer than in most areas.
