Background Paper

A changing population, changing identities: The Crown-Māori relationship in 50 years' time? [600 KB PDF]

Who is 'Māori', and who or what is 'the Crown'?

Who we are, and how we understand ourselves and name our identities, is always changing. As we project what New Zealand's population might look like in 50 years’ time, we need to consider not only technical influences on population composition, such as fertility and mortality rates and migration, but also changes in how we might view ourselves.
