Wellbeing of NZ's children places us 34th out of 41
This is pretty disgusting :thumbdown:
Very shameful as NZ was once near the top. It's not as though we can't afford it. https://tinyurl.com/ycuwpnx5 |

If I lived in NZ I would find this report disturbing.

The child homicide rate is worse in Canada than NZ, I would find that deeply disturbing if I lived in Canada.
Teen suicide rate Children in jobless households Performance in reading, maths and science No wonder the country is in the state its in, if you are a typical NZ. No country is perfect but your response is just pathetic. |

You'd be surprised how many people will still just blank those kind of statistics. Same with what's known here as 'the Road Toll' - that's how many people are killed on the roads every year. Lots of people are in huge denial over just how massive the figure is. |

The inequalities and linkage between people living in dire social conditions and deprivation has never been more obvious or apparent to me than it has in NZ and is undoubtedly a major factor in these statistics. In my view some really basic education and family parenting programmes are required to provide support for families and intervention; especially where behaviour of drinking, taking drugs, violence and abusive relationships are evident. |

You could have a jobless household for many reasons and Ireland & New Zealand have a small population but high amount of family farms. Even during the boom that figure was high here in Ireland and what is so bad if parents have time for their kids? Some just don't have to work and live off the land (farming, rental income etc.). Some people just work during the season and register as unemployed during the winter, but are still finacially better off than others and have time for kids;). |

This has a lot to do with unemployment too, example: 90 thousand under 25's unemployed is pretty sick IMO. Most people don't know this, but the Government chooses the level of unemployment to control inflation. It's called NAIRU (Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment) and is set at about 5% of the workforce. So, one in 20 needs to be unemployed at any one time according to the theory & practice. So don't bash the unemployed. They are possibly doing the rest of us a favour :sneaky: |

Traditionally in New Zealand we tut a bit and then the government ignores international agency reports.
We've all done the tutting, now for the ignoring part. :hand: |

You are havin' a big larf & have no idea of how a 'season' works around here nor who does the work in that season. Mentals & given I live among this you have done my head in.
Average dairy farm in Ireland is 60 cows. Average dairy farm in NZ 400+ cows. The days of the small family farm in NZ is long gone. |
