A new report on wellbeing has found New Zealanders remain satisfied with their lives, despite the major impact Covid-19 has had on the country. Stats NZ says New Zealanders were tested by "extraordinary events" last year, but are mostly happy, resilient and not affected by loneliness.
However it did find that some groups were less likely to be satisfied with their lives, particularly unemployed people and sole parents. Stats NZ looked at data from June 2020 to March 2021, to get an overview of New Zealanders' wellbeing during the pandemic.
