Community Participation in Antwerp
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Over a quarter of residents in Antwerp volunteer their time, which is far higher than national and state figures. This high level of community involvement is matched by a strong tendency to provide unpaid care and housework within the home.

About 25.6% of people here are volunteers, a figure that is far above the national average of 14.1% and much higher than most other similar areas.
