Key Outcome Indicators

Māori Progress Since 2000

The chart below shows key statistical findings on the progress of Māori and gives an overall view of the general progress Māori have made across the selected indicators since the year 2000. The most recent indicator values for Māori (2006-11) are compared with historical values (2000-02)1.

The table reports on the results/effectiveness of Te Puni Kōkiri’s activities/outputs linked to high level outcomes. These measures were specifically designed to report on the extent to which our activities directly impact on the outcomes being pursued. See pages 12-17.

Note: The inner circle represents historic average outcomes for Māori for each indicator between 2000 and 2002, and the spokes represent the most recent average outcome between 2006 and 2011. Where a spoke falls outside the circle, the outcomes have improved since 2000-02. Where a spoke falls within the circle, outcomes have deteriorated since 2000-02.

The chart shows that Māori have made gains in the last decade across all the reported indicators, with the exceptions of home ownership, household income and te reo Māori speakers. The largest gains occurred in the areas of local government representation, secondary education, the Māori asset base and tertiary education.

1. This analysis reflects comparisons based on data obtained at two points in time. It provides a simplistic trend analysis that reflects relative change rather than the absolute status of the indicators.

The outcome indicators we have selected reflect critical information that we are interested in with respect to each outcome. In some cases, government has not set targets for these indicators: accordingly, we have limited our expression of outcome targets to those that have already been agreed by Government. We will continue to work with other agencies to achieve more explicit articulation of outcome targets in the future. The chart depicts the baseline data (2006-11) for key outcome indicators, and shows recent trends in these indicators (progress since 2000-02).

The following table assesses overall change for Māori since 2000-2002 (or nearest data point) and the most recent information that is available for each indicator based on the following key.

Due to changes in the methodology and assuptions used in producing the 2010 estimate of the Māori asset base, this figure is not directly comparable to previous estimates.
