Motu Research Update

Motu Economic and Public Policy Research

New Zealand’s recent economic growth surge has helped to raise average Māori incomes, but what has happened to the distribution of income within Māoridom?

It finds that income inequality within the total working-aged Māori population declined, while income inequality among employed Māori was stable. [via]
