520 _aThe 2021 survey is essentially a report card, gauging New Zealand’s progress in establishing gender equality across all forums and activities. Perhaps not surprisingly, women respondents in the survey were less impressed with the current status quo in New Zealand, than the male respondents. For those that do believe gender inequality exists, women are seen to be the most discriminated against, followed by people of non-binary gender, and men are the least discriminated against. While the overall level of discrimination is perceived to have decreased over the course of the three surveys, the hierarchy of who is most discriminated against, remains the same. When asked how should gender equality be reflected in our society, that is, what we should aspire to, rather than what is our current reality – pay parity topped the list, closely followed by more equal sharing of childcare responsibilities and improved opportunities for women in the workforce. Existing attitudes, as revealed in the survey on the whole, support these aspirational goals, with high ratings in support of joint responsibility for child-rearing, contraception and women’s choices around abortion. Disturbingly, while approval ratings were low for macho attitudes – including, at its worst, tolerance for domestic violence – they had nevertheless, incrementally increased. Taken as a whole, the latest survey shows a creep upwards towards more conservative attitudes. The reasons for this can only be guessed at, but the current national and global situation of extreme uncertainty and anxiety may well have played its part. Gender Equal NZ, led by The National Council of Women of NZ – Te Kaunihera Wāhine o Aoteaora, has conducted three Gender Attitudes Surveys with Research NZ, in 2017, 2019 and 2021. The survey tests attitudes around gender roles – at home, at school, at work and in the community and gives us a biennial snapshot of where we’re at in New Zealand on gender.
