NZWRI take advantage of Stats NZ’s integrated data, which provides rich information on work-related injuries and the characteristics of workers and their workplaces. This includes key future-of-work explanatory variables drawn from the Business Operations Survey 2018’s module on the ‘Changing nature of work’.
