Publisher's Synopsis
This second edition of Degrees of Deprivation uses the latest census data and mapping technology to present a clear image of New Zealand's socio-economic landscape. It aims to raise awareness of the impact of socio-economic deprivation on local communities and uses the latest mapping technology to present conceptually complex information about the social determinants of health and well being. The first edition (2000) proved to be a highly useful tool for a wide range of people and organisations. As New Zealand has changed in recent years so too has the picture of socio-economic difference, making this new edition invaluable for policy makers, planners, service providers and community organisations wishing to understand the social fabric of this country and better utilise resources to improve the health and well-being of all New Zealanders.
