Abstract

The New Zealand small-area index of relative socio-economic deprivation (NZDep) is a national index derived from census data. To date, it has been created from four censuses: 1991, 1996, 2001 [...], Objectives: To outline the development and uses of the census-based New Zealand small-area index of relative socio-economic deprivation, NZDep. Methods: NZDep has been created from four 5-yearly censuses using theory developed from international deprivation research, a standard statistical procedure (principal component analysis) and both construct and criterion validation. Results: The latest index was based on nine socio-economic deprivation variables available for just over 4 million people. It was calculated from a basis of 24,000 small areas containing a median of approximately 90 people. The deprivation index has a value from 1 (low) to 10 (high). It is mapped to standard administrative areas and is available free of charge. The index is easy to visualize, and deprivation maps are widely used. The index is used in many applications in research and social epidemiology, and routinely by the country's Ministry of Health, both to explore health variations across the country and to allocate central government funds to local health care providers. Geographers in local government were quick to recognize the index as a good tool for visualizing the diversity and neediness of local communities, and hence as a tool for town and service planning. Conclusion: The national NZDep index of small-area deprivation has been used widely in research on mortality, morbidity and determinants of ill health, and in needs assessment, resource allocation and advocacy. Key words: Socio-economic status; New Zealand; resource allocation; inequalities

Abstract

A study on the effects of gender and family structure on career promotion to partner within the professional accountancy firms in UK, Australia and New Zealand is presented. The evidence suggests no overt discrimination against women in the promotion decision. The study indicates that the problem lies on when women accountants reach the stage of being considered for a partnership.

Abstract

Weakly theorized, lacking even an agreed definition, ethnicity has joined the list of deconstructed concepts in anthropology. This article argues that an escape from the nihilistic excesses of deconstructionism is possible if ethnicity is 're-located' from the narrow space it inhabits in current theories (social, cultural or psychological) to the active interface between the mind, society and culture. Two bodies of case material (from urban Papua New Guinea and New Zealand) are presented here in an attempt to demonstrate that, firstly, ethnicity is the product of an empirically available activity, classifying people according to their origins, and secondly a great deal of cultural and symbolic content accretes to these classifications. When ethnicity becomes subject to the elaborations of cultural or identity politics it often develops into a focus of symbolic contestation. The symbolic and ideological elaborations of ethnicity present analysts with phenomena analytically separate from ethnic classification itself., In an academic version of fiddling while Rome burns, postmodern anthropologists deconstruct while other commentators use our concepts to analyse contemporary events (Ahmed & Shore 1995: 12). This is especially [...]
