Are you proud to be a Kiwi? Of course you are! New Zealand has been a great place to live, work and bring up children.

But now we  have some of the highest levels of social problems–drug and alcohol addiction, mental illness, imprisonment, obesity, teenage pregnancies,  infant mortality–in the developed world.

And also, in the developed world, we now have one of the higher income gaps.

Watch the video below, where Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, authors of “THE SPIRIT LEVEL”, explain why poor social outcomes are a direct result of income inequality.

Our aim is to raise public awareness of the benefits of a more equal society to such a level that our leaders take notice and act.

Please help us by getting information about the issue from this website, which has research articles, opinion pieces and a summary of “The Spirit Level”, and by talking with friends and communities.

Most importantly, join us on our website.
