The BPS also references that education, health, and housing outcomes in New Zealand vary significantly by socioeconomic background and ethnicity. We know the stats around Pacific people. The average material standard of living for Pacific people is around half lower, for Māori a third lower, than for the general population. Pacific people are typically more severely affected by wage scarring by recessions and are more likely to have poorer health outcomes. The ability for many Pacific and Māori people to achieve their aspirations is impeded when the health, education, housing, and social welfare systems do not address the multi-faceted intergenerational disadvantages. But you know what? Despite these inequalities in housing, income, and health, Treasury in their Pacific Economy report in 2018 found that Pacific peoples contribute $8 billion towards New Zealand's GDP and over 27,000 hours of volunteering. The Minister of Finance at the launch of that report stated that there is massive opportunity to invest in the Pacific community, looking at the overall approach to wellbeing. These are Pacific values of family, culture, language, and heritage, and it's clear in this BPS that the Minister is taking up this opportunity. That is why this Government for the last three years has made it a priority to improve the lives of Pacific peoples here in Aotearoa.
