How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Almost 45% of people in Beagle Bay do 15 or more hours of unpaid housework a week, which is far above the national figure. While many residents take on heavy loads of unpaid home and childcare, very few now spend time volunteering in the community.
