Gender identity: Developing a statistical standard - Statistics New Zealand
The proposed concept of gender identity and definitions of related terms sets out definitions to help develop a consistent way of measuring and using gender identity data. It was developed by Statistics NZ in consultation with other government agencies, with advice from the Human Rights Commission.
The objective is to encourage central government agencies to move towards a standardised approach, but the resulting statistical standard will not make collecting gender identity information mandatory.
We recognise there is no universally accepted definition of the concept of gender identity and its related terms. The project to develop a statistical standard for gender identity aims to enable a shared understanding of this complex topic.
