Community Participation in Milabena
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Community involvement in Milabena has seen a shift in patterns since 2011, though few people now serve in the military. While volunteering is low, there is a very high rate of people performing unpaid care and housework in the area. This local trend is most visible in the high number of residents providing unpaid support to others.
