abstract: A study on how Māori and non-Māori New Zealander life expectancy is different and what causes these differences. Mortality data of 2016 will be used to decompose the difference in life expectancy, per cause of death. Large contributors will be examined into further detail and possible explanations for their contribution will be discussed.  – In the Māori population unhealthy behaviour and lifestyle is most often the underlying cause for the difference in life expectancy. The Māori cultural value of social pasttime, low self-esteem throughout history and generally low socio-economic status amplify unhealthy behaviour and thus the difference in life expectancy. Political response is present, but future research should be done to study how exactly the political dimension can stimulate improvement of Māori life expectancy.
