Average weekly income for Asian women in New Zealand

Number of people: The number of people receiving income from a particular source. For example, the number of people who receive income from wages and salaries.

This information is similar to what was previously collected in the New Zealand Income Survey, but only covers income from wages and salaries, self-employment, and government transfers. Private transfer and investment income are no longer included.

This information used to be collected through the NZ Income Survey, but it is now collected as part of the Household Labour Force Survey each year during the June quarter.
In 2016 there were changes to the survey:
- Changes to the questionnaire allow more accurate identification of education and caregiving status, and self-employment. This change cannot be backdated. This causes an increase in self-employment figures and a change in NEETs.
- Looking at job advertisements on the internet is now classified as not actively seeking work. This change has been backdated from 2007.
- Missing historical information on the usual hours worked has been imputed, and the new survey better captures this information. This change has been backdated from 2005.

The income information is collected as part of the Household Labour Force Survey each year during the June quarter.
This dataset in particular refers to the hourly and weekly income of individuals who are employed and are receiving income from wages and salaries.

The primary purpose of the survey is to estimate the number of people employed, unemployed, and not in the labour force (NILF), and from them, the unemployment rate for the New Zealand labour market. The Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS) is designed to produce statistics at the family level, and use of the survey for a purpose for which it was not designed is inevitably subject to some limitations.

The period of surveying/interviewing for the June quarter is the 13 weeks between April and June (inclusive). Income information obtained relates to the respondent's most-recent pay period, except for questions on annual income, and self-employment income which cover the 12 months before the interview.
