My views are from the understanding that these are mostly women who have historically performed the lion’s share of unpaid labor (raising children etc.), worked historically in lower-paid feminised industries and are actively discriminated against by current employers due to their age. That’s lower lifetime earnings and super. They are being forced into volunteer work in exchange for payments that are about 40% below the poverty line.

This may be an extreme subset and I am certain there a women that love the community involvement and purpose.

My critique of mutual obligations goes further but this particular case stands out.
