Population and Sustainable Development
The Report
Population and Sustainable Development 2003 was
prepared by the Ministries of Economic Development and Social
Development, the Department of Labour and Statistics New Zealand as
part of the New Zealand Sustainable Development Strategy. The report
discusses how changes in New Zealand's population over the next 50
years are likely to impact on our future development and wellbeing.
It draws together information from a wide range of sources in order
to raise issues for policy makers and contribute to the public
debate about New Zealand's future.
To assist planners and analysts incorporate sound analysis of
population issues and demographic data in their advice to decision
makers, the same agencies developed the
Population and Sustainable Development website
,
which was launched on 18 October 2004. The website is a practical
guide on population issues and public policy, and provides a single
point of access to population information held on the websites of
nineteen government agencies. The site has been designed for use by
both expert and non-expert users.
