While the research shows New Zealand has 50.9% women are on public sector boards, there is still work to do to increase gender representation on all boards and increase ethnic diversity.
Women make up only 25.9% of directors on private company boards and only seven companies have achieved gender equality. The statistics for culturally diverse gender representation is significantly behind and on public sector boards, 71.4 % are European, 22.3% are Māori and 5.4 % are Pacific peoples.
