Community Participation in Greenwith
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A shift in family and service roles has shaped Greenwith over the last decade. The area now sees a much higher proportion of people caring for children unpaid than most other places, while it also has a strong presence of former Defence Force members.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is lower than in most areas, with 13.8% of residents helping out. This is well below the South Australian figure of 17.0%, though it is about the same as the national rate.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
About 30.2% of people provide unpaid childcare, which is well above the national figure of 26.3%. Other forms of support are more typical, with 12.9% providing general unpaid care and 20.8% doing 15 or more hours of housework weekly.
