Te Kupenga: 2018 (provisional) – English. Provisional benchmarks The release of the post-enumeration survey (PES) results and the 2018-base estimated resident population (ERP), following the 2018 Census, have been delayed.
The delay reflects the need to modify the 2018 PES methodology. This is needed to address the complication of the administrative data enumerations used to enhance the 2018 Census dataset, and to address an issue with how dwellings were selected to be surveyed by the PES. The ERP is used to provide benchmarks for Tatauranga Aotearoa Stats NZ household surveys, including Te Kupenga, which allow us to weight data from survey respondents so that it is representative of the population as a whole. The delay means that final benchmarks for Te Kupenga are not yet available.
Given the importance of Te Kupenga data, we are releasing provisional estimates using provisional benchmarks based on the best available population information. There will likely be some low-level changes when final benchmarks are confirmed. Legatum Prosperity Index 2019. Population Pyramids of the World from 1950 to 2100 - PopulationPyramid.net.

The 2018 Asia Power Index does just this. Launched today by the Lowy Institute, the Index is rich with myriad facts and stats which, brought together, form a nuanced picture of vastly different countries and the relationships between them. Designed to be a widely applicable research tool for policymakers, academics, and media alike, the Index ranks 25 countries and territories according to the power they wield in Asia. It reaches as far west as Pakistan, as far north as Russia, and as far into the Pacific as Australia and New Zealand. The United States also has a place in the Index, as the major external player in the region. Comprised of 114 indicators of power, across eight thematic measures, the Index is the most comprehensive assessment of power in Asia ever undertaken. The big picture is compelling. The Index finds that the United States remains the pre-eminent power in Asia. China lags by 10 points but, as the emerging superpower, is rapidly closing in on the United States. – barbaragrieve
