In the 2021 General Social Survey, people reported a high sense of belonging to their families with an average rating of 9.2 out of 10, Stats NZ said today.
“People who reported a strong sense of belonging to family were also more likely to have higher life satisfaction, and higher family wellbeing scores than the national average,” wellbeing and housing statistics manager Sarah Drake said.
“The 9.2 rating was relatively unchanged from the 9.1 reported the last time the data was collected in 2016, showing that family continues to be an important source of social connection.”

One in three children projected to be Māori – Media release
29 September 2022
One in three children in Aotearoa are likely to identify as tamariki Māori by the early 2040s, as the country’s population becomes increasingly ethnically diverse, Stats NZ said today.
“All major ethnic group populations are projected to grow over the next two decades, although some ethnic groups are expected to grow faster than others,” population estimates and projections acting manager Rebekah Hennessey said.
Different growth rates reflect different age structures, birth and death rates, and patterns of migration, which impact how population groups change.
