The Superannuation 2000 Task Force was charged with finding a sustainable superannuation solution for New Zealand. In 1999, it commissioned a comprehensive survey of the living standards of older people. Three separate surveys were conducted to meet the objectives of the research. One survey was of older New Zealanders in general and the second was of older Māori. The third survey was a sample of working-age people.[i]
