Toward freedom from violence: New Zealand family violence statistics disaggregated by ethnicity
This report examines the nature and extent of family violence among ethnic groups in New Zealand, including refugees, long-term settlers and people born in New Zealand who identify their ethnic heritage as Asian, Continental European, Middle Eastern, Latin American or African. It also highlights gaps and limitations in ethnicity data collection and encourages agencies to use the Statistics New Zealand Statistical Standard for Ethnicity 2005. The report confirms that while there are significant gaps in the statistics related to family violence in New Zealand, there is sufficient data to be certain that it remains one of our most pressing social problems, with a high prevalence in the population as a whole.

PISA 2012: New Zealand summary report
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assesses 15 year old students from 34 nations to compare how well countries prepare their students. This report provides summary statistics of New Zealand student achievement in mathematics, reading, and science scores on the international test. On average, the scores for Māori students were below both the New Zealand and OECD average and immigrant students who speak in English at home performed better than those that speak in another language.

Ethnic Precincts in Auckland
This mixed method study of ethnic precincts in Auckland will be conducted between December 2013 and August 2014.

The Asia New Zealand Foundation
New Zealanders’ perceptions of Asia and Asian peoples 1997−2011
This report found that New Zealanders’ attitudes to Asian immigration and immigrants have become more positive over time, driven largely by increased contact between New Zealanders and Asians. The report uses the Foundation’s “Perceptions of Asia” tracking surveys and other research to analyse changes in public opinion towards Asia over time.
Researchers: Emeritus Prof. Phil Gendall, Distinguished Prof. Paul Spoonley, and Asia New Zealand Foundation Director of Research Andrew Butcher
