Community Participation in Majorca
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than 31% of people in Majorca do at least 15 hours of unpaid housework weekly, a figure far above the national average. This high level of domestic work is a standout feature of the area's community activity, though other forms of participation are less common.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is less common here than in most other areas. Only 11.7% of residents volunteer, which is a little below the figures for both Victoria and Australia.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is a mixed picture, as 14.6% of people provide some form of care, which is a little above the national figure. However, the proportion of people caring for children unpaid is 19.9%, which is well below the Victorian and Australian averages.
