Child Poverty in New Zealand

Boston, Jonathan

Chapple, Simon

Notes
Between 130,000 and 285,000 New Zealand children live in poverty, depending on the measure used. These ... figures are widely discussed, yet often poorly understood. If New Zealand does not have 'third world poverty', what are these children actually experiencing? Is the real problem not poverty but simply poor parenting? What are the consequences of this poverty for children, their families and society? Can we afford to reduce child poverty and, if we can, how? (Back cover)
