A large proportion of New Zealand teenagers are living in poverty, a study has revealed.
The research from Auckland University showed almost one in five secondary school students and nearly half of all Pacific students were struggling.
Significant differences between ethnicities were highlighted, with about one third of Maori students living in households experiencing poverty.
Published in the International Journal for Equity in Health, the study used data from the Youth 2012 study of 8500 students.
