Maori Literacy: Its Influence on Earnings and Jobs
Keyword(s):
In terms of explaining the gap between Maori and non-Maori labour market outcomes, little attention has been given to literacy. Yet the 1977 New Zealand International Adult Literacy Survey showed that Maori tested English literacy was considerably lower than that of non-Maori in Prose, Document and Quantitative domains. The paper examines the links between Maori ethnicity, literacy and employment prospects and levels if earnings using cross-tabulations and multi-variate techniques on unit data.
