Patterns of multiple disadvantage across New Zealand families

Patterns of multiple disadvantage across New Zealand families Superu - Wellington, New Zealand : Superu, 2017 - electronic document (30 pages) ; PDF file
As the Crown entity charged with increasing the use of evidence across the social sector with expertise in family wellbeing, Superu is well placed to address these
difficulties and help to fill this gap in our knowledge about an important group of social service users. It is for this reason that Superu has established a research project investigating multiple disadvantage as part of our Families and Whānau research programme. The main aims of this project are to develop a measure of multiple disadvantage and use it to understand the prevalence of multiple disadvantage across
New Zealand families, the types and combinations of disadvantage most commonly experienced, and the disadvantages with the greatest impact on family wellbeing.
This paper presents the first results of this exploratory research project with a focus on four research questions:
1. How many disadvantages do New Zealand families face and do some family types face more than others?
2. What proportion of all disadvantage is borne by those experiencing multiple disadvantage?
3. For those families facing multiple disadvantage, what sorts of disadvantage are most common?
4. Do some disadvantages occur mostly on their own or with many others? (From the introduction). Record #6651
