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.
