DMIC maths

 


 

Student responses:

  • Nitika -  I wonder how much did they make  in a year altogether? (annual income)

  • Nitika - I wonder why the pakeha men make more money than the pakeha women?

  • All of the women get paid less than the men - because they don’t do hard work jobs. 

  • Pakeha men get paid more than Pacific men. 

  • I wonder why Pacific women get paid less. 

  • I wonder why men get paid more because people care more about men than women. 

  • Fereti - Pakeha men get paid #31 per hour - they get paid more because they are men.

  • Income has changed overtime. 

  • Men get more money than women - because women had to stay and clean. 

  • Mathew -  Pakeha men get paid the most.

  • Eh Htoo Wah - Pakeha men get more money because they know more. Pacific women get less money because women get less money. Some other countries don’t count in here because there are not enough for them. 

  • Senitila - Asian people are paid less.

  • Senitila - We think people get more money than the money because they speak up. 

  • Hope - I noticed that women get less money because most people care about men more than women and think men is more important. 

  • Hope - I wonder why pakeha people get paid more than Pacific, Maori and Asian people. 

  • Giamarni - I think Pakeha men get paid more because they are men and they are white. 

  • Giamarni - Women get paid less than men, but women do a lot of unpaid work (caring for children, caring for elderly relatives, cleaning etc). 

  • Ana - I notice I can’t really see the colours - they are too close together. This means that those groups of people whose colours you can’t really see must earn the same amount of money.

  • Havea - the payrolls get higher as time goes on.

  • Over the years everyones pay has increased or decreased due to protests/striking.

  • Davlyn - in 2016 Pakeha men got paid $32 an hour. 

  • Davlyn - Pakeha women get paid the least in 1997 and 2016.

  • Davlyn - Pakeha men get paid the most in all the years.


Other ideas we talked about

  • Why are Asian men and women only counted in this graph from 2011 onwards?

    • Maybe because we got a lot of refugees and then they all started working

    • Because there wasn’t that many asians in NZ

  • Do indians count as asians in this graph?

  • Where are all the other cultures? Why are Pakeha and Maori actual cultures, but Pasifika is a group of people and so is Asian? Is that fair?

  • Unpaid vs. paid work - especially for women.
