    Inequalities in child health between tamariki Māori and non-Māori are largely preventable and unnecessary. An example is rheumatic fever, where tamariki Māori are 30 times more likely to contract the disease than non-Māori.

    Being ill as a child has a big impact on school attendance and outcomes, and it may cause lifelong disability or illness. There are high costs involved, both for the health system and for society.

    Project commenced:

    What Māori-focused research has been undertaken in the field of speech-language therapy, what does this research tell us about the speech-language therapy needs of Māori, and what evidence is there in the broader health and education sectors for ways to address any inequities or problems with speech-language therapy service provision for Māori?

    The theory of value research platform is concerned with considering:

    • How can the values that drive the Māori economy be understood and articulated within a theoretical context?
    • How can the values that drive the Māori economy be utilised by Māori communities to enhance wellbeing?

    The theory of value platform project seeks to build on research conducted by the Whai Rawa theme in the areas of Indigenous economics and entrepreneurship and Māori enterprise. Māori values research has indicated that they go beyond Māori business and entrepreneurship.

  • Full project Kia Ārohi Kia Mārama - Scoping Excellence

    Project commenced:

    What current methods do Māori (particularly those on low incomes and/or living in conditions of poverty) use to manage money?

    What financial products and services are likely to be effective for Māori and how might these be successfully implemented?

    What support can Māori organisations (including iwi) and the government provide to increase whānau financial literacy and savings?

    Poverty within Māori communities is perpetuated by low incomes, poor financial literacy and a lack of whānau role models who encourage saving. For change to occur, financial education, collaborative community efforts and radical behavioural shifts are required.
