To highlight the human cost of this situation, the concept of “the precariat” offers more informed and contextualised understandings of the situations of socio-economically marginalised people in Aotearoa. Significant societal and policy change is required for Māori whānau to be truly free from the cycle of precarity. (Authors' abstract). This is a paper in the Te Arotahi paper series, a series of think piece papers published by Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) to provide research and focus to critical topic areas and issues facing Aotearoa New Zealand.
