Labour force participation74 Between 2001 and 2006, the labour force participation rate for Māori increased from69 percent to 71 percent. In March 2010, 425,500 Maori were aged 15 years andover, of whom 66.8 percent were in the labour force while 33.2 percent were not inthe labour force.75 The labour force participation rate for Maori stood at 66.8 percent for the year toMarch 2010, which represents a 1.5 percentage point decrease over the past yearand a 1.7 percentage point increase over the past five years. Compared with theparticipation rate for all people, which was 68.1 percent in March 2010, the Maorirate has decreased more sharply over the past year. 2476 The labour force participation rate was highest for Māori aged between 25 to 54years old, at 78.4 percent in September 2009. The participation rate for Māori agedover 55 years was 47.6 percent, while for Māori youth aged 15 to 24 years it was58.2 percent. Māori participation was lower in the 15 to 24 and 25 to 54 years agegroups compared to non-Māori, but higher for those 55 years and over. In all threeage groups, Māori participation since 2004 has grown more quickly than for non-Māori.77 The industries with a disproportionately large share of Māori workers are expectedto experience continuing falls in employment: manufacturing, retail and tourismrelatedindustries which suggests that Māori labour force participation may continueto be disproportionately affected by the economic downturn. However, confidence inthe construction industry is beginning to return and this sector is a key employer ofMāori. 2578 Gains that Māori have made in training and education should help employmentopportunities in the future. Data from September 2009 shows a 17.2 percentincrease in 15 to 24 year old Māori engaged in formal study, compared with a yearearlier.Unemployment status79 Unemployment figures from the Housing Labour Force Survey 26 show that betweenthe March quarter 2006 – 2008, the Māori unemployment rate hovered around 9percent. This compared to the non-Māori unemployment rate which hovered around3 to 4 percent (see Figure 8). The disparity between the Māori and non-Māoriunemployment rate fell in the second quarter of 2008. Yet Māori unemployment wasstill twice that of non-Māori.80 Between the December 2008 and December 2009 the unemployment rate rose 2.4percent from 4.4 percent to 6.8 percent 27 . In March 2010 the unemployment rate hadfallen to 6.6 percent (see Figure 8). For Māori, unemployment increased from 8.6percent to 13.6 percent, peaking in December 2009 at 14.8 percent. The rise inunemployment for Māori (5 percent) was nearly three times the rise for non-Māori24 http://www.dol.govt.nz/publications/lmr/lmr-quick-facts-maori.asp25 http://www.dol.govt.nz/publications/lmr/maori/in-the-labour-market-2009/executive-summary.asp26 The population in the sample of this survey is aged 15 years and over.27 The data used from the Household Labour Force Survey is not seasonally adjusted. These datawill be different from those presented in Statistics New Zealand reports because Statistics NewZealand use seasonally adjusted data.18
(1.8 percent). The rise in unemployment can be attributed to the downturn in theNew Zealand economy.81 In the March 2010 quarter, the Māori unemployment rate was nearly two and a halftimes that of the non-Māori rate.Figure 8 Proportion of unemployed by selected ethnicity (Mar quarter 2006 – Mar quarter 2010)16%14%12%10%8%6%4%2%0%Mar-06Jun-06Sep-06Dec-06Mar-07Jun-07Sep-07Dec-07Mar-08Jun-08Sep-08Dec-08Mar-09Jun-09Sep-09Dec-09Mar-10Maori Non-Maori Total PeopleSource: Statistics New Zealand, Household Labour Force Survey Mar 2006 to Mar 20010.82 The highest unemployment rate for Māori was recorded for Northland (17.7percent), while the lowest unemployment rate for Māori was recorded for theCanterbury region (7.5 percent).
