Community Participation in Nganmarriyanga
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Huge gaps separate Nganmarriyanga from the rest of the country in how people contribute to their community. While over half the population provides unpaid childcare, almost no one here is recorded as volunteering.
