Abstract

In November 2022 Treasury released its Te Tai Waiora report on well-being, together with a considerable suite of supporting pa pers. These include a conceptual framework and measuring system concerning ‘Living Standards framework’ (LSF) which has been under development for several years with the measurement system now populated with the most recently available statistics (mainly up to 2021). The main report reviews NZ’s wellbeing in terms of the array of trends and social distributions of many of the indicators organised in terms of the LSF, with the series of supporting papers fleshing out more details for much of the coverage. Included amongst these papers is a thorough description of the wellbeing of NZ society and its major subpopulations, with particular attention devoted to the recent impacts of the Covid pandemic. Of recent months Treasury’s work has been accompanied with the release of MSD’s social cohesion baseline report and the MSD survey of young New Zealanders, and comments on these are added to the commentary provided.
