Parents get involved in voluntary work
Time is often in short supply for mothers and fathers. This makes their commitment all the more remarkable: around 44% of people who live with children under the age of 14 are involved in voluntary work. Parents are particularly often involved in daycare centers, schools and sports clubs. This strengthens social cohesion and shows children what responsibility, co-determination and community mean.
