Information on Pacific peoples

New Zealand’s Pacific people are a dynamic and diverse group. By 2026, it is projected that Pacific people will be 10 percent of the population, compared to 6.5 percent in 2001. The Pacific population in New Zealand will produce an increasing portion of the nation’s births, its student body, workforce, taxpayer base, voters and consumers of both public and private goods and services.
