I can manage how to budget, and how to save - it was a wake-up call for me.

Why does financial literacy matter to Auckland’s Pacific people?

COVID-19 has made Auckland’s entrenched inequities worse. Nearly 60 per cent of Auckland’s Pacific 99,300-strong Pacific workforce is employed in less-skilled jobs, especially vulnerable to the changing nature of work and the economic impacts of COVID-19. Across New Zealand 9.5 per cent of Pacific households experience in-work poverty.

Project Ikuna - supporting the future of Auckland’s Pacific workforce

Future Ready: Money Confidence is part of a four-year, MBIE-funded programme to help upskill Auckland’s Pacific workforce so people have the skills and knowledge to adapt to the future of work and the economic impacts of COVID-19.
