DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS
59 p. 1977
$2.20
This survey represents the first nationwide statistical survey of the actual living costs and circumstances of a representative sample of persons aged 65 years and over in New Zealand. The survey was jointly designed by the Departments of Social Welfare and Statistics. The Social Welfare has sought to design measures for standards of living and to determine the effect of the structure and value of social security benefits on these measures. The Department of Statistics has given a general statistical analysis of the survey results, and has carried out some studies to help identify factors which may influence the expenditure patterns of the elderly.
