Qué funciona en Nueva Zelanda

New Zealand has implemented several evidence-based social and digital equity programmes. The Care and Support Workers (Pay Equity) Settlement Act 2017 delivered a NZD 2 billion settlement raising wages for 55,000 predominantly-female care workers by 15–50%, while the Marae Digital Connectivity Programme has connected 676 of 877 eligible marae to free broadband since 2019. The Free Period Products in Schools Programme (Ikura) distributed over 600,000 packs in its first year across 2,100+ schools, addressing period poverty that had previously caused an estimated 95,000 students to miss school. Digital literacy is also being addressed through programmes like SilverTech (achieving statistically significant gains in older adults' smartphone skills) and Skinny Jump (delivering subsidised 4G broadband at NZD $5/35 GB to 31,776 low-income households).
