It is designed into our systems, our institutions, and our policies.’Poverty is not the result of individual failure or misfortune. It is a product of the design of our economic and institutional systems. Pakukore brings together leading thinkers and practitioners to expose the systemic nature of poverty in Aotearoa and explore pathways for change.From education, health and housing to government finance, welfare and justice, this book shows how inequality is embedded in the structures of oursociety. It offers analysis from economists, public health experts, legal scholars, community leaders and those working at the front lines of social need.Originating from the 2024 conference Pakukore: Poverty, by Design, hosted by the Stout Research Centre for New Zealand Studies, this collection is a compelling call to rethink how we understand and address poverty in this country.
