This conference addresses poverty in Aotearoa New Zealand. It analyses the economic, governmental, legal and institutional systems that have created poverty, and which continue to lock too many whānau in its grip. It asks whether a developed nation should continue to tolerate poverty and inequality. It invites speakers who work at the front lines in the fight against poverty to tell us of the lasting and severe harms it inflicts on people’s lives. The programme will be ordered around the systems that have played, and continue to play, key roles in underpinning and maintaining the crisis of poverty: economic management, the housing, health, welfare and education systems, the courts and corrections, and short-term political thinking. The conference will also look at where hope lies, and how we can choose to re-design Aotearoa to eradicate poverty and heal those who suffer its harms.
Speakers from research backgrounds and the front lines will provide evidence, present joined-up thinking and examine where hope lies for eradicating poverty and assisting those who suffer its harms.
