Closing the Gap - The Income Equality Project
A more equal society is better for everyone
New Zealand is a wealthy country. But that wealth – and the opportunities it creates – are increasingly unevenly shared. Inequality isn't simply about the distance between rich and poor. It shapes who can afford a home, who gets ahead, whose health suffers, whose voice is heard, and what kind of future our children inherit.
And it isn't inevitable.
The gap is shaped by choices – about tax, wages, housing, public services and how we share the wealth we create. Closing the Gap brings together evidence, ideas and public debate to challenge inequality and advocate for policies that create a fairer Aotearoa.
Because a fair society doesn't happen by accident. We choose it.
