Data worth checking

Data, whether qualitative or quantitative, can tell a story. And when it does, we ought to pay attention.

The credibility of our work and investigation is based on gathering qualitative data from our documentary participants’ interviews (mothers, fathers, specialists, advocates, etc) and from quantitative data made easily accessible by organisations like Figure NZ or Stats NZ.

While we encourage you to explore more data or use alternative sources, if possible, here’s a selection that caught our attention:

• Reasons for not seeking work for women in New Zealand who are not in the labour force

• Labour force status of European women in New Zealand

• Labour force status of Māori women in New Zealand

• Labour force status of Pacific women in New Zealand

• Labour force status of Asian women in New Zealand

• Women giving birth in New Zealand by age group

• Median age of women having abortions in New Zealand

• Unpaid activities undertaken by women in New Zealand

• Unpaid activities undertaken by people in New Zealand by gender

• People in New Zealand who worked from home by ethnic group

• New Zealand households whose income does not meet everyday needs
