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.
