The 2006/07
New Zealand Health Survey included two measures of living standards: the New Zealand Individual Index of Deprivation (NZiDep), developed by the University of Otago, Wellington; and the Economic Living Standards Index - short form (ELSI), developed by the Ministry of Social Development. Both measures were found to perform well in the survey.
This study found that most New Zealanders enjoyed good living standards. However, young adults and people of Pacific or Māori ethnicity were more likely to experience poor living standards.
