Description: Statistics NZ workshop on insights from the General Social Survey 2012, presentation followed by hands on with the statistical information released in August and accessible on the stats website.
Aligned with international measures, the NZGSS is an official national survey of well-being involving more than 8000 people aged 15 years and over. The 2012 survey is the third in the General Social Survey series, allowing us to now measure social change over time. The data includes information about population groups defined by age, sex, labour force status, education level, household income, housing tenure, family type, migrant status, ethnicity, and region. Data is available from 2008, 2010 and 2012, allowing trends to be observed over time.
Topics include:
- life satisfaction
- financial well-being and job satisfaction
- social contact and isolation, participation in voluntary work
- safety and security
- housing quality, emergency preparedness, and council services
- self-assessed health
- human rights, voting and discrimination
- support across households.
