Trends in Wellbeing for Māori Families, 1981–2006

The report tracks 25 years of wellbeing using census data to construct and report on household wellbeing indicators overtime. The report was commissioned by Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga and written by Associate Professor Cindy Kiro, Martin von Randow and Andrew Sporle. This report is the first to specifically concentrate on Māori whānau and households providing a framework for monitoring whānau wellbeing through the use and analyses of Census data. Given the wide and current interest in whānau ora, the report is a timely contribution allowing more informed public policy development around Māori whanau/households wellbeing.
