End Child Poverty in Aotearoa New Zealand

Ending child poverty in New Zealand requires a number of steps. MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Aotearoa New Zealand is calling for the government to:

  • Establish a systematic plan and timetable to end child poverty in New Zealand
  • Develop a comprehensive range of policies designed to ensure that all New Zealand children must be provided with the basic necessities of life, including warmth, housing, adequate nutrition, healthcare and educational opportunities
  • Ensure that no child is discriminated against in measures to reduce poverty, including discrimination on the grounds of parental employment status
