What it's about
Demographic Trends 2004 contains the latest statistics on New Zealand's population and related statistics. Published annually, it contains commentaries, diagrams and tables on the major demographic indicators of the New Zealand population. Topics covered include population change and structure, fertility, marriage, divorce, mortality, external migration, subnational population estimates, induced abortions, and national and subnational demographic projections.
This issue also carries a special article, entitled Age Differences Between Partners at the Time of Marriage: 1963, 1983 and 2003, prepared by Michael Ryan, with assistance from Bill Boddington and Kim Dunstan. This article assesses age differences within couples by year of marriage registration, by age at marriage and by previous marital status.
Part 10 contains brief notes on the 2006 Census of Population and Dwellings, the forthcoming IAOS (International Association of Official Statistics) satellite meeting (to be held in Wellington on 14 - 15 April 2005), and the new Population website - an inter-departmental website on population issues jointly launched by the Ministers for Economic Development, Social Development and Employment, Labour, and Statistics.
This section also includes brief outlines of a number of reports recently released by Statistics New Zealand, including Fertility of New Zealand Women by Ethnicity, Older New Zealanders - 65 and Beyond, New Zealand Life Tables 2000 - 2002, and New Zealand Family and Household Projections.
