Outcome Measures
Our contribution towards achieving these measures can only be realised over the long term. Although there
is still some way to go, the difference between the median income of Māori and non-Māori has reduced from
$145 in 2012 to $134 in 2013. The satisfaction levels for Māori and all New Zealanders have remained at the
same rates since 2012. The following table shows the measures and targets for indicating when this outcome
has been achieved.
Data related to life satisfaction is drawn from Statistics New Zealand – NZ social indicators (He kete
tatauranga). Data for the weekly median income is drawn from Statistics New Zealand – New Zealand Income
