These focus areas span from structural or systemic factors that are drivers of issues, through to impacts. For example, problems within the dignified income focus area, such as the gender pay gap, can be drivers of poverty and financial hardship for women as it hinders their earning potential. They have gathered research and data under these three focus areas to better understand the issues facing women in the current economic environment. Literature is drawn from Government statistics and releases, academic research based in New Zealand, information releases by private businesses and organisations, and Good Shepherd NZ research. This paper pulls together this research and serves as a point in time view of how different factors come together to disadvantage women in New Zealand. (From the Introduction).
