Key Facts at the end of June2006

Auckland Region

Please note that this Fact Sheet defines the working aged population as aged 18–64 years, to reflect the minimum age of entitlement to most benefits and the age of eligibility for New Zealand Superannuation. All information in this fact sheet refers to working aged recipients of the benefits concerned. Please note also that trends in numbers receiving main benefits are more reliably shown by comparisons between the same quarter 12 months apart than by comparisons between consecutive quarters.
