household). As these are population-wide data, we can provide descriptive statistics in much greater detail compared to survey data, which only captures a sub-sample of the population. We supplement this with analysis utilising the Household Labour Force Survey, which adds value in terms of the coverage of variables of interest as well as providing a longitudinal pattern for the prevalence of inwork poverty. This report comprises the following sections: Section 2 describes the definitional issues that need to be considered when measuring in-work poverty and highlights benchmarks in the international literature; Section 3 details the approach undertaken in this report and indicates further details regarding relevant data sources; Section 4 presents the key empirical findings; while Section 5 concludes. As this study is the first comprehensive descriptive examination of in-work poverty in New Zealand, we hope that the findings in this report can contribute to a national conversation on this topic.
