Book explores accelerating income
inequality
Income inequality in Aotearoa New Zealand was discussed
in a new book published this year, Inequality: A New
Zealand Crisis (2013),30 which looks at the causes and
consequences of income inequality and identifies how
tackling this disparity could help to reduce social problems.
The book includes viewpoints from a broad range of
contributors. The authors argue that, if it is not addressed,
the gap between the rich and poor could have an effect on
the job prospects, earning opportunities and wellbeing of
future generations.
