Structure of the report

The social report is organised into three sections.

The first part of the report, the People section, provides background and contextual information on changes in the size and composition of the New Zealand population.

The second section is the core of the report. It is organised around the 10 outcome domains listed in Table IN1. Within each outcome domain, a set of indicators shows how well New Zealanders are doing in that area of life.

The final section, the Summary, looks across the report and reviews how social outcomes have changed since the mid-to-late 1990s, how New Zealand compares with other OECD countries, and how different population groups are faring.

Population information and indicators at the regional and territorial authority level is available separately on the website.
