Sleeves Rolled Up is a podcast produced by The Salvation Army New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. While you may know The Salvation Army for our op shops or handing out food parcels, what you might not know is that we’re involved in so much more. Our strong social justice focus informs our work, work such as reintegrating people back into society after they are released from prison, building social housing communities, supporting people experiencing homelessness, advocating for social change at government level, releasing research papers about social issues, giving people a hand up through our wraparound services and so much more! We hope you enjoy listening to these interviews with our guests who are determined to see people’s lives transformed through their respective roles within The Salvation Army.

Children and youth of today face particularly unique challenges post-pandemic. In this episode, we chat to social policy analyst Paul Barber about the youth and children & the work and incomes sections of the 2023 State of the Nation report.
State of the Nation is a report released each year by The Salvation Army (now in its 16th year), that tracks the progress and decline of key wellbeing areas for communities across New Zealand.
We discuss:
- latest child poverty figures
- employment levels
- cost of living crisis
- disparities in ethnicities of children in material hardship
- concrete actions we'd like to see from the Government to improve life for youth in New Zealand
