The Aotearoa Futures Barometer was introduced by Dr. Eruera Prendergast-Tarena, Kaiwhakatere of Tokona Te Raki at the Ako Aotearoa Southern Forum in August. It uses a methodology from the Copenhagen Institute of Futures Studies and surveyed 1000 New Zealanders along with 270 youth and 270 Māori responders.
The themes include NZers' perspectives on the future, including their outlook, and expectations. The study also reported on participants' identity as New Zealanders, and their future aspirations. It provides a snapshot of on how a small group of Kiwis, perceive what the future holds for them and their optimism (or pessimism) on what the future holds. Economic, societal attitudes are polled along with how social media influences ways in which various sectors of society react to current and future trends and political shifts.
A good resource and it will be important to extend this across to a wider number of participants to be a better gauge of how NZers' thinking.
