From: Rebecca
Dear Ministry of Social Development,
According to the June 2014 National Benefit Worksheet, published 18 July 2014, there were 293,586 people on benefits in New Zealand.
I would like to know of these people - how many grew up in a home with a parent or caregiver on a benefit.
Yours faithfully,
Rebecca
