1 Jan 1967 Jahr - Department of Māori Affairs Urban Relocation Scheme - ends

Beschreibung:

By 1967, coincident with a major downturn in the New Zealand economy and the appearance of the first real unemployment in the post-war era the Department of Māori Affairs began to scale back the policy of relocation. By 1967 it was apparent to bureaucrats within the Department that the majority of those urbanising were doing so without the assistance of the State. Citing difficulties in the reporting procedure, from 1967 the Department of Maori Affairs only required regional offices, to submit returns for families, and not individuals relocated. Although it had never accounted for a significant proportion of Maori urbanisation, after 1967, even fewer Maori families received State assistance to move to the cities. Although on paper the Department persevered with the policy of relocation into the 1970s, in reality only a very small number of families were relocated in the period after 1967. In the two-year period between March 1967 and 1969, only 68 families
were relocated under the policy and in the following two-year period between March 1969
and 1971, 57 families received Departmental assistance in their migrations
