There has been a shift for Māori towardshigher educational qualifications. However, in 2006, some 40 percent of the Māoripopulation still did not hold a formal qualification. This compares to 35 percent ofPacific Peoples, and 25 percent of European.16
Figure 8 Educational qualifications of the Māori population 2001 and 2006Source: Statistics New Zealand, Quick Stats about Māori (March 2007 revised)Employment status74 Recent unemployment figures from the Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS) 26show that in 2008, the Māori unemployment rate was on average 8.3 percent. Thiscompares to 3.4 percent for European, and 7.4 percent for Pacific Peoples (seeFigure 9). The disparity between the Māori and European unemployment rate hasslightly decreased since 2007 27 but persists with the Māori unemployment rate beingmore than twice that of the European rate in 2008.75 Between the 2008 and 2009 March quarter, the unemployment rate in New Zealandhas risen by 1.3 percent to 5.6 percent (see Figure 9). This can be attributed to thedownturn in the New Zealand economy. In the March 2009 quarter the Māoriunemployment rate was sitting at 11.2 percent. The rise in the unemployment ratethe 2008 and 2009 March quarter for Māori (by 2.3 percent) was more than twicethe rise for European (by 1.1 percent), and less than for Pacific Peoples (by 4.9percent). In the March 2009 quarter, the Māori unemployment rate is again nearlytwo and a half times that of the European rate (similar to 2007).26 The population in the sample of this survey is aged 15 years and over.27 Housing New Zealand Corporation.
