"The 2014 New Zealand General Social Survey (NZGSS) is the fourth of the survey series. We run the NZGSS every two years and interview around 8,500 people about a range of social and economic outcomes.
It provides new and redeveloped data about different aspects of people's lives and their well-being. In particular, the survey provides a view of how well-being outcomes are distributed across different groups within the New Zealand population.
Symbols used in this table: S - Data has been suppressed. * - Relative sampling error of 50 percent or more. Numbers may not add to the total because 'Don't know' and 'Refused' have been excluded.
