New data for Outcome Area 2 of the New Zealand Disability Strategy

In February 2023, Te Ara Ahunga Ora - the Retirement Commission released their focus report on the financial capability of New Zealanders with disabilities or long-term health conditions. It contains data showing that disabled people continue to have, on average, lower levels of economic security and income.

These outcome areas will contribute to achieving the vision of the New Zealand Disability Strategy.
