Opportunities for all

From Sustainable Community Action

< Ideas Bank, < Economic wellbeing

"Unpaid work (parenting, growing food for family and community needs, maintaining households, volunteering in community service, do-it-yourself home and community construction, and repair projects) is estimated as some 50 % of all production in OECD countries and 60 to 65 percent in developing countries." Hazel Henderson

A sustainable community provides economic opportunities for all. Opportunity can be encouraged through a variety of approaches, not just by traditional means. Social inclusion involves economic inclusion.
