New Zealand Journal of Employment Relations. 45(2).0110-06371179-2965https://hdl.handle.net/10092/101978In this short article, we explore the implications of Covid-19 and its response for employment in Aotearoa | New Zealand, focusing on the potential effect in Māori communities. To prevent the foreclosure of possible alternative futures, we emphasise the need to envisage economies in different ways, and the potential for alternative understandings of work within these visions. We argue that, rather than creating conditions for economic transformation in Aotearoa | New Zealand, Covid-19 has merely revealed pre-existing conditions with strong transformative potential. The pre-existing conditions that we will focus on in this paper are the enduring understandings of economy and work within Te Ao Māori (the Māori world) and at the meeting place of worlds represented by Te Tiriti | The Treaty of Waitangi. We write as an exploratory partnership between a Ngāi Tahu/Pākehā scholar living and working in the Ngāi Tahu takiwā (territory) and a Pākehā scholar living and working on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.enAll rights reserved unless otherwise statedCovid-19pandemiceconomies of manacareMāoriwomenemployment relationsJournal Article2021-05-101503 Business and Management1608 Sociology2202 History and Philosophy of Specific FieldsFields of Research::38 - Economics::3899 - Other economics::389903 - Heterodox economicsFields of Research::45 - Indigenous studies::4511 - Ngā tāngata, te porihanga me ngā hapori o te Māori (Māori peoples, society and community)Fields of Research::35 - Commerce, management, tourism and services::3505 - Human resources and industrial relations::350599 - Human resources and industrial relations not elsewhere classifiedFields of Research::44 - Human society::4404 - Development studies::440404 - Political economy and social changeNga Upoko Tukutuku / Maori Subject Headings::Tikanga tuku iho | Values::ManaNga Upoko Tukutuku / Maori Subject Headings::Ohaoha | Economics::Ōhanga | Economy::Ōhanga whanaketanga | Assessment, Risk; Development, Economic; Economic development; Management, Risk; Risk assessment; Risk managementNga Upoko Tukutuku / Maori Subject Headings::Tikanga | Ceremonies; Customs; Protocols; TraditionsNga Upoko Tukutuku / Maori Subject Headings::Tikanga tuku iho | Values::Manaakitanga | Compassion; Hospitality; Obligations, Mutualhttp://doi.org/10.24135/nzjer.v45i2.22
