Measuring inequality for disabled New Zealanders: 2018 brings together data from three Stats NZ surveys to explore differences between the lives of disabled and non-disabled people in Aotearoa.

The goal of government policy and international agreements about disability is the improvement of disabled people’s lives. Monitoring the difference between disabled and non-disabled people in a consistent way, and over a wide range of outcomes, is a key step towards achieving this goal.

Labour market statistics (disability) provides comparisons between labour market measures for disabled and non-disabled people in New Zealand. Information includes labour market participation and employment rates as well as differences in wages and salaries received.

The New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings is the official count of how many people and dwellings there are in New Zealand. It provides a snapshot of our society at a point in time and helps to tell the story of its social and economic change. The 2023 Census, held on Tuesday 7 March, was the 35th New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings. The first official census was run in 1851, and since 1877 there has been a census every five years, with only four exceptions.

This report provides an overview of children and young people in Out of Home care or with Oranga Tamariki involvement who are living with impairments and where this is identified by administrative data in Statistics NZ’s Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI).

Te Kupenga is Tatauranga Aotearoa Stats NZ’s survey of Māori wellbeing.

The survey provides key statistics on four areas of Māori cultural wellbeing: wairuatanga (spirituality), tikanga (Māori customs and practices), Te reo Māori (the Māori language), and whanaungatanga (social connectedness). The survey’s content recognises practices and wellbeing outcomes that are specific to Māori culture, such as the knowledge and use of the Māori language, connection to marae, and whānau wellbeing.

The household economic survey (HES) is an annual survey designed to measure the economic wellbeing of New Zealanders. HES has three components: HES income, HES expenditure, and HES net worth. - HES income is the main vehicle, and it is run every year. It includes household income, housing costs, and material wellbeing – this is ‘core’ HES. - HES expenditure includes additional components – an expenditure diary and an expanded household expenditure questionnaire. It runs every three years. - HES net worth includes additional questions on household assets and liabilities. It also runs every three years.

Child poverty statistics provide estimates of low income and material hardship rates for measures listed in the Child Poverty Reduction Act 2018.

Here is the programme used to produce the analyses and graphs for the "Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of obesity with disability between age 50 and 90 in the SHARE study" paper. This programme includes STATA v17 codes.

Latest monthly statistics on Learning Disabilities and Autism (LDA) patients from the Assuring Transformation (AT) collection and Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS). Data on inpatients with learning disabilities and/or autism are being collected both within the AT collection and MHSDS. There are differences in the inpatient figures between the AT and MHSDS data sets and work has been ongoing to better understand these. LDA data from MHSDS are experimental statistics, however, while impacts from the cyber incident are still present they will be considered to be management information. From October 2021, LDA MHSDS data has been collected under MHSDS version 5. A number of comparators are published each month to assess the differences in reporting between the collections. These can be found in the MHSDS datasets section. From 1 July 2022, Integrated Care Boards were established within Integrated Care Systems data and replaced Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs). Clinical Commissioning Groups have been replaced by sub-Integrated Care Boards. Data for the AT collection is now submitted by sub-Integrated Care Boards. This has resulted in some renaming within tables and the inclusion of a new Table 5.1b with a patient breakdown by submitting organisation. Patients by originating organisation and commissioning type are still available in Table 5.1a. Data in the tables are now presented by the current organisational structures. Old organisational structures have been mapped to new structures in any time series. As of 23rd May 2024, restraints data for MHSDS February 2024 has been added to the 'Learning disability services monthly statistics from MHSDS: Data tables' page. This is available within Tables 15-18 of v2 of the Data tables as well as within v2 of the csv file.

This is an uncertainty number, for more information see Unsafe data on kolada.se. “The municipality’s activities for persons with disabilities work well in the municipality, percentage (%)” is an excise estimate from a sample survey. This means that the estimate is not necessarily representative of the population as a whole. However, with the point estimate ± the uncertainty number, one can most likely say that the true mean is within the range. Data is available according to gender breakdown.

Persons who need care in connection with a visual or auditory impairment or a communication impairment due to a language development disorder can use care for sensory disabled people in kind through the Health Insurance Act (Zvw). This table provides information on the use during a year (reporting year), the use at a certain reference date and the amount of care and average expenditure per healthcare user. The figures are broken down by sex, age at 31 December of the reporting year and care by disability.

Data available from: 2015

Status of figures: The figures for 2021 and 2022 are provisional, the figures for previous years are definitive.

Changes as of 6 December 2023: Provisional figures for 2022 have been added.

When will there be new figures? The provisional figures shall be published no later than 18 months after the end of the reporting year. When new annual figures are published, the figures for the previous year become definitive.

This table shows actual key figures of benefits concerning labour disablement, unemployment, income support and national insurances.

Data available from: January 1998.

Status of the figures: The figures for the three most recent months are provisional, while the figures for the preceding months are definitive. The figures concerning income support of the three most recent months are based on an estimation and therefore provisional. After three month these figures will be replaced by definitive figures. The monthly and quarterly figures represent the situation at the end of a period; the annual figures are averages.

Changes as of 31th July 2025:

Added are: - The provisional figures from May 2025;

The figures mentioned below have become final: - The figures from February 2025.

When will new figures be published? New figures will be published in August 2025.

This table contains data on disabled and non-employed persons in the employed, unemployed and non-work force by gender and age.

Data available from 2000 to 2013

Status of the figures Figures based on the EBB are always final.

Changes as of 12 October 2016: None, this table has been discontinued.

When will there be new figures? This table has been discontinued. The update of 31 October 2014 was the last update of this table. For new figures on disabled persons, see the links in paragraph 3.

This table contains annual figures on labour participation of disabled and non-workers in the Netherlands. Both disabled and non-workable persons aged 15 to 75 (excluding the institutional population) are classified in the active, unemployed and non-working population. The workers are further classified on the basis of the position in the workforce and the average working time. A breakdown by gender, age and educational level is available for the different classifications.

Data available from 2015-2017.

Status of the figures: Figures based on the EBB are always final. Changes as of 18 May 2018: None, this table has been discontinued.

Oscillations as of 1 May 2018: The methods used to deduce the level of education and the direction of education have been improved. This has an impact on the figures on the level of education in this table. In addition, the Standard Educational Classification (SOI) 2016 is now used instead of that of 2006. This affects the figures for all reporting periods. For more information, see paragraph 4 of the Table Explanatory Notes.

When are new figures coming? No longer applicable. The data in this table are (partly) followed up in the table ‘Non-active population; labour barriers due to long-term illness’. See paragraph 3.

The table provides insight into the number of people with a social security benefit. These persons may reside in the Netherlands or abroad. This concerns persons receiving a benefit for disability, unemployment, old age, social assistance and social assistance-related benefits. The number of people receiving benefits in the context of disability, unemployment assistance and assistance-related benefits are available from 2007 onwards. The number of people receiving an old-age benefit has been included in the table since 2013. It is possible for a person to claim more than one benefit. These may be benefits of the same type (for example, two benefits under the Disability Insurance Act (WAO)) or benefits of different types (such as a benefit under the Unemployment Insurance Act (WW) and a social assistance benefit). In the latter case, the person is included in both types of benefits. In the first case only once (with the WAO). In the total counts, the person is of course only counted once. From October 2021, there will be an increase in the number of WGA benefits. The cause of this is an improvement in the quality of the process, which means that a group of self-insurers that were previously missing is now included. It is not about an increase in the regular number of WGA benefits, but an increase in "persons with a WGA benefit". The people on benefits are broken down by type of benefit. The compilation of data for StatLine tables containing breakdowns by personal characteristics is always based on the most recent data from the Personal Records Database (BRP). Because different StatLine tables are updated at different times, it is possible that a different version of the BRP is used for one table than for another table. This may result in limited differences compared to other tables with the same population. In that case, the most recently published figures are the most accurate. The figures relate to the last day of the reporting month. Status of the figures: The figures may have a further provisional or final character. The monthly figures are year-end figures. The figures become final after one to two years. Changes as of: July 31, 2023 Adjusted are: - The figures with social assistance (related) benefits for the period April to June 2021 have been adjusted. The following have been added: - The more detailed provisional figures from October to December 2022. The following have become more provisional: - The provisional figures of persons receiving a disability benefit from April 2020 to September 2022 - The provisional figures of persons with a unemployment benefit from April 2020 up to and including September 2022 - The provisional figures of persons receiving social assistance (related) benefits from January up to and including September 2022 - The provisional figures for disability benefits from April 2020 up to and including September 2022 The following have become final: - The more detailed provisional figures of persons with social assistance (related) benefits from April 2020 up to and including December 2021 When will new figures be available? New figures will come in: October/November 2023

This table contains figures on the benefit position of young people aged 15 to 27 who were resident in the Netherlands on 31 December of the reference year by gender, age, migration background and living situation. The benefit position of young people is divided into whether or not they receive benefits. The types of benefit are also included in relation to unemployment, disability and social assistance and social assistance-related benefits. The total number of young people on benefits in this table is lower than in regular StatLine tables on people on benefits because young people who do not live in the Netherlands or whose place of residence is unknown are not included in this table. The number of young people receiving benefits in this table is also lower than in the table Labor market situation for young people (15 to 27 years); region 2018. This is mainly because an exact reference date has been chosen in this table (31 December) while in the table Labor market situation young people (15 to 27 years); In the 2018 region, it was checked whether someone received a benefit somewhere in the month of October. See paragraph 3 for the above tables. A young person can claim several benefits. These can be benefits of the same type, for example two benefits in the context of disability, or benefits of different types, such as one benefit in the context of unemployment and social assistance. In the latter case, the young person is included in both types of benefits. In the first case, only once for disability benefits. In the total counts, the person is counted once. As a result, the sum of the categories is not equal to the total number of young people on benefits. Data available from: 2007 Status of the figures: These are definitive figures. Changes as of July 29, 2022: The figures for 2021 have been added. Changes as of December 8, 2021: The figures for 2020 have been added. To mitigate the consequences of the corona crisis, the Temporary bridging scheme for self-employed entrepreneurs (Tozo) has been in force since 1 March 2020. The Temporary Bridging Scheme for Self-Employed Entrepreneurs (Tozo) provides independent entrepreneurs with an additional payment for living expenses or a loan for working capital to deal with liquidity problems as a result of the corona crisis. Self-employed entrepreneurs can receive an amount from this scheme to supplement their income up to the social minimum. The first part of the Tozo expired at the end of May 2020, but due to an extension, the scheme was still in force at the end of 2020. The Tozo is regarded as a social assistance-related benefit, which means that the number of people receiving a social assistance benefit increased sharply in 2020. Changes as of December 13, 2019: The figures for 2018 have been added. For 2016, an earlier version incorrectly included young people who had died on December 31 of the year. As a result, the figures on the total number of young people and young people without social security benefits have been corrected. For 2017, the figures for AO benefits for the months of January to March were based on estimates. These were corrected after delivery of the correct sender files. Furthermore, the underlying codes of the classifications used in this table have been adjusted. These are now in line with the standard coding established by Statistics Netherlands. The structure of the table has not been changed. Changes as of October 30, 2018: For 2017, the figures of young people aged 15 to 27 for the benefit positions 'Unemployment', 'Social assistance and social assistance related', 'Incapacity for work; incl. Wajong', 'Wajong' and 'No benefit' corrected. The numbers were interchanged. The same applies to the figures of young people aged 15 to 27 (relatively). Changes as of 7 May 2018: Due to an improvement in the method, the figures of young people receiving disability benefits have been recalculated for the years 2013 to 2015. In addition, from 2015, the figures of the new Wajong 2015 scheme have been included. The revision has no consequences for the other figures of young people on benefits, but it does affect the total number of young people on benefits. Figures for 2016 have also been added. When will new numbers come out? The figures for 2022 will be published in the spring of 2023.
