Recent data from stats NZ shows that nearly 40 percent of Pasifika live in a house that is too small for their families, but they scored higher than the general population on family well being.
Someone who articulated the reason behind this is Pacific Communities editor for the Spinoff, Sela Jane Hopgood.
She wrote that she was grateful for growing up in a family home and says the current designs of homes are a bigger problem than they ever were.
