Maori, Pacific Islanders and young families have led Christchurch's earthquake exodus
Re: Maori, Pacific Islanders and young families have led Christchurch's earthquake exodus
from the article posted by Sally -
. . .Using data from school rolls, Newell found that more Maori and Pacific Island children had left the city compared with New Zealand European children. "With school-aged Maori children, there has been three times the rate of loss when compared with Pakeha children. When we look at Samoan groups, the migration rate is even larger." Newell said many families who lived "week to week and day to day" were the ones who left. "When something bad happens, these people can't stick it out. They need to find another pay packet," he said. "Maybe the people leaving had young children, but another factor could be that they represented people from a lower socio-economic background.
Another example that once again reinforces the need for preparing ahead of time for unexpected disasters. Presumably, the Maori and Samoans who left Christchurch had friends or relatives they could bunk in with.
In the event of a large scale disaster such a a high CFR pandemic, people will have no safe haven to flee to, poor or not.
