Health Equity: Indigenous wellbeing

Our PwC Hauora (health and wellbeing) practice compares Māori and Pacific definitions of wellbeing with that used by the New Zealand government.

The purpose of our kaupapa was to test assumptions. By comparing the New Zealand’s government's definition of wellbeing with how Māori and Pacific people understand wellbeing, we were able to identify blind-spots and generate insights. We also posed the question of how to measure wellbeing in the context of Treasury’s Living Standards Framework.
