The strategy for the 2011 Census of Population and Dwellings is for minimal change to survey content and the questionnaires.
Statistics NZ is undertaking a number of reviews in 2008 that will help determine the content of the 2011 Census.
Overview of census-related consultation
Revision of the Official Ethnicity Statistical Standard
Statistics NZ is reviewing the collection of statistics on cultural identity across the Official Statistics System. As part of this review, a revision of the ethnicity statistical standard will also be undertaken, with a view to implementing any changes that might be required for the 2011 Census.
More information, including details on how to make a submission, will be posted at
www.stats.govt.nz/people/arts/cultural-identity.htm when the consultation process starts.
Consultation on proposed changes to census content for 2011
Public consultation on these changes has now closed. Thank you to all those who made submissions.
Final decisions on census content will be made by the Government Statistician and will be available from this page from late 2008.
