Notes:
1. International fee paying students are excluded.
2. x = for this category there were less than 5 early leaving exemptions.
3. For this indicator ethnicity is prioritised in the order of Māori, Pasifika, Asian, other groups except European/Pākehā, and European/Pākehā.
4. Due to poor coding of the Other ethnic group in 2000 and 2001, the ethnic group Other is not shown separately but is included under Total.
5. For this indicator European/Pākehā refers to people who affiliate as New Zealand European, Other European or European (not further defined). For example, this includes and is not limited to people who consider themselves as Australian (excluding Australian Aborigines), British and Irish, American, Spanish, and Ukrainian.

Table 5: Working age main benefits, by ethnicity, as at the end of June 2005 to 2010

Notes:

This table includes working age people only (aged 18 to 64 years).

It cannot be assumed that the ethnicity classification used to construct this table necessarily aligns neatly with the current Statistics New Zealand classification of ethnicity. Ethnicity details recorded in the Ministry of Social Development’s systems have been gathered under a variety of classification schemes as clients came into contact with the Ministry.

Legend:

• DPB is Domestic Purposes Benefit.

• ‘DPB related’ includes Domestic Purposes Benefit – Caring for the Sick or Infirm, Domestic Purposes Benefit – Sole Parent, Domestic Purposes Benefit – Women Alone and the Emergency Maintenance Allowance.

• EB is Emergency Benefit.

• IB is Invalid’s Benefit.

• IYB is Independent Youth Benefit.

• ‘SB related’ is Sickness Benefit and Sickness Benefit Hardship.

• ‘UB related’ is Unemployment Benefit and Unemployment Benefit Hardship.

• ‘UBT related’ is Unemployment Benefit Training and Unemployment Benefit Training Hardship.

Table 6: New Zealand Superannuation and Veteran's Pension, as at the end of June 2005 to 2010

Notes:

From the mid-1990s to 2000 the proportion of clients with a recorded ethnic group has improved gradually. This improvement accelerated with the introduction of an improved coding system in 2001. The capture of ‘ethnic group’ has improved markedly since then and the ‘unspecified’ group has declined for most benefits.

Reduction in the numbers with ethnicity ‘unspecified’ for New Zealand Superannuitants has lagged behind those for other benefits. This is because many people currently receiving New Zealand Superannuation were receiving New Zealand Superannuation prior to the introduction of the new coding system in 2001. Because no renewal action is required for New Zealand Superannuation and all payments are made through banks, it will take longer for the improved coding process to flow through for this group. For this reason, a meaningful ethnicity breakdown cannot be provided for New Zealand Superannuation and Veteran’s Pension clients.

Table 8: Accommodation Supplement and Disability Allowances paid, by ethnicity, as at the end of June 2005 to 2010

Notes:

This table shows a count of Disability Allowance, not clients. A client can receive Disability Allowance for themselves, their partner or a child.

A large proportion of Disability Allowance is paid to older clients. Reduction in the numbers with ethnicity ‘unspecified’ for New Zealand Superannuitants has lagged behind those for other benefits. This is because many people currently receiving New Zealand Superannuation were receiving New Zealand Superannuation prior to the introduction of the new coding system in 2001. Because no renewal action is required for New Zealand Superannuation and all payments are made through banks, it will take longer for the improved coding process to flow through for this group.

Table 9: Childcare Assistance paid, by ethnicity, as at the end of June 2005 to 2010

Notes:

This table shows a count of children for whom Childcare Assistance is being paid. A client can receive Childcare Assistance for more than one child.

It cannot be assumed that the ethnicity classification used to construct this table necessarily aligns neatly with the current Statistics New Zealand classification of ethnicity. Ethnicity details recorded in the Ministry of Social Development’s systems have been gathered under a variety of classification schemes as clients came into contact with the Ministry.
