Conclusion

One of the positive aspects of Māori development over the past two decades has been that Māori women are now more likely than ever before to participate in all levels of education from early childhood through to post-compulsory education and training. Since 1991, the number of Māori women university graduates has doubled as has the proportion of Māori women among all full-time self-employed Māori.

Maori women are more likely than non-Maori women to be involved in a range of unpaid work outside of the home, including childcare, administration, household work, training, teaching, counselling and fundraising.

Note: As people can undertake more than one type of unpaid work, totals do not add to 100%.
