Story: Ethnic inequalities
While ethnic inequalities were decreasing in the 21st century, on average Māori and Pacific people still had lower incomes, worse housing and poorer health than Pākehā in New Zealand. They were less likely than Pākehā or Asians to work in professional occupations or have higher educational qualifications. However, there were also marked differences within these populations and the diverse range of people living in New Zealand.
