Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Very encouraging results here: 39 percent of Māori-owned businesses had women—wahine Māori—involved as an active shareholder, compared to 1 percent of non - Māori-owned businesses. Māori-owned businesses were more diverse, with 61 percent having at least one female owner of any ethnicity, compared to 53 percent of non - Māori-owned businesses. Regardless of ethnicity, Māori-owned businesses were more likely to have women, both Māori and non-Māori, as active shareholders.
