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.
