About us

A research group identified as End Poverty and Inequality Cluster (EPIC) exists within the School of Psychology at Massey University and is the nominal site of this collaborative research project. It is closely supported in this project by Massey University’s MPOWER unit (Massey People, Organization, Work and Employment Relations) and the Global Organization for Humanitarian Work Psychology (GOHWP).

Our mission

Our goal is to help fill a vacuum on living wages as a largely organizational-level policy that may make a real difference to human and organizational development. This aim chimes especially but not exclusively with the wider United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, in particular with: SDG 1 – Eradicating poverty in all its forms everywhere; SDG 8 – promoting Decent Work that meets people’s everyday aspirations and values; SDG 10 – ending inequality; and SDG 17 – partnership for development.
