Stats NZ has released the estimated working-age population benchmarks for the December 2025 quarter of the Household Labour Force Survey. The table provides the population figures used to produce estimates in the forthcoming Labour Market Statistics release scheduled for 4 February 2026. Data can be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet (47 KB) and includes definitions and metadata via the DataInfo+ portal. Further information is available from the Labour Market Statistics unit or the media team, with contact details provided on the Stats NZ website. Additional releases include the March 2026 quarter estimate, expected on 8 April 2026. The Household Labour Force Survey collects data on employment, unemployment, and labour market participation among New Zealand residents aged 15 and older. The benchmarks reflect current population estimates used to adjust survey weights. These benchmarks support the accuracy of quarterly labour market statistics, which are crucial for policy makers and the public.
