Wise Muavono (FS 24/8) presents a simplistic rather than a sociological interpretation of iTaukei poverty.
His “contributing factors“ take no cognisance of low wages and the high costs of living and the significant population of the working poor that has produced in contemporary Fiji society.
Wise believes the iTaukei have only themselves to blame for their poverty. That is not correct.
