4 As part of the establishment of the organisation in 2014, a widespread national consultation process was undertaken to understand the needs and priorities of Pacific families. Supporting this process the organisation gathered information from a variety of sources on the Pacific population in New Zealand , which was published in 2015. This report updates and develops further our profile of the Pacific population. We draw on data published by a range of organisations, including Statistics New Zealand , MBIE, New Zealand Parliament, Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Development, and the Salvation Army's Social and Policy Unit.

5 Our diverse and vibrant Pacific communities are well established in New Zealand society, with many having made the transition from immigrant based, new settlers to third generation New Zealanders with Pacific heritage. We are making progress in establishing ourselves in business, sports, the arts, social service delivery and public sector roles. We are represented at the highest level of Government, in local bodies and lead many Pacific organisations and hold senior and leadership roles in mainstream businesses, nongovernmental and community based organisations. continued over 2 Pasifika People IN NEW Zealand | HOW ARE WE DOING?

6 | 2017. Despite this, the outcomes in many areas for Pacific individuals and families remain a challenge. When we look at the deprivation index of Pacific People , more than half of Pacific People live in the most deprived areas of New Zealand , a rate that is higher in comparison to M ori, Asian, New Zealand New Zealand European and others. The education system has a central role in enabling Pacific peoples to gain the skills and knowledge required to enter high-skilled occupations with a higher demand for growth, but of all ethnic groups in New Zealand , Pacific People have the smallest proportion with a degree and the largest proportion with no qualification at all.

7 Pacific adults are less likely to be in good health compared with non-Pacific adults, and Pacific People face an inequitable burden of chronic disease including high rates of obesity and diabetes. The Pacific unemployment rate has been consistently higher than the rate for the total population. Pacific People have the lowest percent of People living in an owned home overall and material hardships are also greater amongst Pacific families compared to other ethnic groups. There are however signals from a few areas that these persistent inequalities are narrowing, particularly in some aspects of education. It is critical that this momentum is maintained and developed further in other areas of Pacific People 's development.

8 All of this information provides a clear challenge for crown agencies, social service providers and non-governmental agencies working with Pacific families to find innovative solutions and models to make a difference. Pasifika Futures is committed to supporting families to change the narrative, to enable young Pacific People to have a bright future and to see all Pacific families contributing and participating fully in the community and New Zealand society.
