Graduate employment and additional responsibility data (measure 2.4) are drawn from the Kāpuia Graduate
Community Survey question, ‘Did studying at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa improve your employment opportunities?’
Sixty-two per cent of respondents answered, ‘Yes’.
We were not able to assess the proportion of tauira confirming an increased understanding of mātauranga Māori
because the 2012 Tauira Survey (used to gather these data) had already been conducted when the measure was
developed. A question to gather data for this measure will be included in future annual tauira surveys.
Outcome measures
The cultural, social and economic prosperity outcome includes strategies that address the negative health and
welfare statistics associated with Māori and Pasifika populations throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Our aim is
to contribute to significant improvements in these statistics as we continue to address disparities between Māori
and non-Māori within our society. At the same time, however, we are an inclusive organisation. Therefore, we aim
to contribute to improvements in the quality of life and happiness of all New Zealanders as
we move forwards together to make our world a better place.
The following table shows measures, targets and trends related to the cultural, social and economic
prosperity outcome.
Median income data are drawn from Statistics New Zealand’s Income Survey. Overall life satisfaction data are
drawn from The Social Report – Te Pūrongo Oranga Tangata: Social Indicators for New Zealand released by the
Ministry of Social Development.
