Evidence snapshot for New Zealand
New Zealand has pursued pay equity and digital inclusion as policy priorities. The Care and Support Workers (Pay Equity) Settlement Act 2017 delivered a NZD 2 billion settlement raising wages for 55,000 predominantly female workers by 15–50%, while the Marae Digital Connectivity Programme has connected 676 of 877 eligible marae to broadband since 2019. Digital accessibility remains a compliance challenge: the Government Web Accessibility Standard made WCAG conformance mandatory in 2010 (first globally), yet a 2018 audit found only 65% average agency compliance. To reach lower-income and older populations, programmes like Skinny Jump (31,776 active connections by July 2024) and SilverTech (97% participant satisfaction) provide subsidised broadband and digital skills training, though evidence on their long-term impact remains limited.
