Briefing To The Incoming Minister For Senior Citizens
2008 Briefing
This briefing provides an overview of what it means to be older today, how today's older people differ from their parents and grandparents, and what the challenges and opportunities are for older people. This is examined in terms of the impact on the economy of an ageing population, and on society in general.

In this briefing, we provide an overview of how the older population is changing and the opportunities that the rapidly changing demographic of the older population will bring for New Zealand over the next three years.
2002 Briefing
The number of older people in New Zealand is growing both in numbers and as a percentage of the total population. This trend will continue to raise the profile of older New Zealanders as a group of critical importance to the future of New Zealand society.
