Feedback sought on definition of
a Māori business
New Zealanders are being asked for their
views on the definition of a Māori business, Stats NZ said today.
Public consultation on the draft definition
will begin on Wednesday, 6 October, and end at 5pm on Friday, 5 November
2021.
The draft definition has been developed in
partnership with representatives from Māori business organisations, government
agencies, academia, and the Māori business community.
“There’s currently no agreed definition
of Māori business nationally, which leads to multiple estimates of Māori
business data being used by different government agencies,” data system
strategy and capability general manager Eleisha Hawkins said.
“Creating an agreed definition will enable
consistency across government in how we measure Māori business activity.”
Developing definitions to support consistency
across New Zealand’s data system is part of Stats NZ’s data leadership
role.
“We are committed to delivering more and
better data for and about Māori, and to improving the way we record and
present information on Māori business to ensure it is accurate and meets
information needs,” Ms Hawkins said.
We encourage you to make a submission. See
