This project involved building whanaungatanga and capacity amongst members of the research team to establish a group with the skills to conduct future large-scale, Kaupapa Māori autism research using the Statistics New Zealand Integrated Data Infrastructure [IDI], and conducting exploratory analysis using the IDI to identify autistic tamariki and rangatahi Māori.

It’s a common aspiration for our children to do better in life than we do. This upward social mobility between one generation and the next benefits not only the families but also the country as a whole. Increasing levels of education, skills and income contribute to a more prosperous economy and a wealthier society. Being able to identify the things that support increased education, skills and income is the first step towards investing in actions that will increase the country’s wealth within a single lifetime.

This research uses New Zealand’s high-quality data resources to look at what things support upward social mobility and what things restrict that mobility. The quality of New Zealand’s data allows this research to look at the national picture as well as focus on specific populations such as Māori and rural communities. The results of this work will help guide investments in policies and programs that create pathways to better economic circumstances for New Zealanders and a more prosperous economy. This work will also support the development of an internationally important research industry based on New Zealand’s world leading data resources.
This project is funded from 2025 - 2028 by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment Smart Ideas grant. It is led by iNZight Managing Director Andrew Sporle and Senior Researcher Nicole Satherley, in collaboration with Barry Milne and Natalia Boven of the COMPASS Research Centre.
IDI Search is a web app that allows researchers to search for variables that are available in the IDI and, in some cases, metadata about these variables. The app uses data from IDI variables and Data Dictionaries shared with us by Stats NZ. The data are stored in a database which can then be searched using the web app.
