From the NZFVC

Statistics New Zealand is seeking public feedback about indicators to measure success for Aotearoa New Zealand.

These indicators are intended to measure more than just economic success (e.g. Gross Domestic Product) by including wellbeing and sustainable development.

Stats NZ says "The indicators will build on international best practice and will be tailored to New Zealand by including cultural and te ao Māori perspectives."

Indicators Aotearoa New Zealand - Ngā Tūtohu Aotearoa will be used by the government, councils, businesses, communities, and individuals to make choices around wellbeing and sustainability. They will also be used in domestic and international reporting, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The SDGs include gender equality and violence prevention.

To help understand this project and give feedback, Stats NZ has produced a video, fact sheets and presentations. For more information about the project and consultation see the Stats NZ website. You can submit feedback through to the end of September.

You can have your say by:

• Filling in the Stats NZ submission form
• Completing the online poll
• Commenting on the Stats NZ Facebook page
• Emailing indicators@stats.govt.nz.
