Linked Indicators • Language retention • The ability to speak the language of one's identified ethnicity is an indicator of the ability to retain and pass on one's culture and traditions to future generations. Language is a central component of cultural identity. • Proportion of the population that speaks the ‘first language’ of their ethnic group. • Available five-yearly at all levels through contact with Statistics New Zealand. • Māori language speakers • Māori is an oral culture. Therefore, the level at which te reo Māori is spoken within the community provides a proxy measure for assessing the cultural well-being of New Zealand’s indigenous population. • Proportion of Māori speakers in the Māori population. • Available five-yearly at all levels through contact with Statistics New Zealand.
GSS- includes Culture and Identity • Current ‘stats package’ on identity includes the key variables of ethnicity, religion, language, country of birth, years in NZ and location. • It is acknowledged that these are 'blunt instruments' however each has currency. • Limited official statistics on human rights & ‘identity’. • The GSS provides opportunity to explore social diversity and to consider tolerance and social cohesion. These themes are being considered under the domains of: social connectedness, human rights and culture & identity. • Potential to explore producing estimates for Mäori and Pacific People. • BUT limited regional breakdown.
