A comprehensive social survey programme will enable us to develop new indicators and to update more of the current set of indicators annually
Statistics New Zealand has undertaken a major review of its social statistics programme which should in the long term lead to the more regular collection of a wider set of social statistics. The Ministry of Social Development is also undertaking a joint quality of life survey with local government which should support the alignment of outcomes and indicators between local government reporting and the social report.
We welcome your feedback and comment.
As previously noted, we now produce the Social Report on an annual basis. Work will continue to refine the desired social outcomes and indicators, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions as to how you think this might be done. Comments can be made to:
