Community Participation in Paradise
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly 40% of people in Paradise do 15 or more hours of unpaid housework each week, a figure far above the state and national levels. This high level of domestic work stands out in a community where other forms of volunteering and unpaid care are less common.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is lower than in most other areas, with 13.3% of residents helping out. This is well below the Tasmanian figure of 18.0%, though it is about the same as the national rate.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While 13.3% of people provide some form of unpaid care, the number of those caring for children is far below the national average at 15.0%. This contrasts with the very high 38.3% of residents who spend 15 or more hours a week on housework.
