Percentage is calculated on the basis of the total population frequency for the Generation Z's age bracket 18 years to 24 years (N = 162138).This Auckland Generation Z population data could have all the possible characteristics of a population and is not reflecting the exact sample criteria (e.g. population in Auckland for 5 years or more/working for 30 hours or more p.w on an average). The extraction of Generation Z's Auckland population data is based on the Auckland region that comes under the New Zealand by regional council/SA2 area. This data can only be used for the approximation purpose and guidance as the purpose of the government census differs from the purpose of this study and therefore the treatment of any variable and its category may not exactly be the same.

Generation Z’s gender representation (N = 162141) according to the 2018 census reveals that both males and females have approximately equal representation in percentage terms, though there are 83,031 males who are more by 2.42% as compared to females (n = 79110). Table 3 contains this information. As per the 2018 census, the “sex” variable did not have the provision for the “not stated” category and where an individual wanted to identify themselves as intersex was requested to tick both male and female options. Therefore, only two categories were made available as a variable option (sex variable) to the individuals (StatsNZ, 2019a).
