Social confidence has fallen three points in the same period, the survey shows. Economic confidence is relatively highest among men, aged 15 to 24, and in Christchurch provincial areas, and relatively lowest among women, aged over 55 and in Christchurch city.
Social confidence is relatively highest among women, aged 15 to 24 and in Christchurch provincial
areas, and relatively lowest among men. aged 45 to 54 and in Auckland provincial areas.
The index is compiled from measurements by the National Research Bureau of the public's feelings about their present and future personal economic situation and about present and future social and environmental conditions in New Zealand.
The measurements are obtained from bi-monthly surveys of 2200 randomly selected New Zealanders aged 15 and over. The index values of 0-49 reflect public pessimism, index values of 51-100 reflect public optimism.
