The future approach to the New Zealand General Social Survey – A consultation paper

The future approach to the New Zealand General Social Survey – A consultation paper outlines some of Statistics NZ's plans for the future of the New Zealand General Social Survey (NZGSS). We’re considering updates to the questions that we ask in the survey and are interested in your views on whether the proposed content is relevant to you.
