Ipsos Equalities Index 2023

Welcome to the inaugural Ipsos Equalities Index, which is the first time that we’ve examined global attitudes towards these issues in this way. This study expands upon work we've done elsewhere, covering issues such as gender equality, poverty, LGBT+ issues and more.

From this survey of 26,259 adults across 33 countries, we discovered such facts as...

  • 23% of New Zealanders feel that attempts to promote equality in this country have gone too far - but 42% feel more work still needs to be done.
  • The groups most likely to be seen as experiencing inequal treatment in New Zealand are those with mental health conditions (34%) and those from minority ethnic groups (33%).
  • 60% of New Zealanders feel it is the government's role to reduce inequality in New Zealand.
  • New Zealanders were the second-most likely of the 33 countries surveyed to feel that employers should be primarily responsible to try to reduce inequality (37%, behind Sweden on 43%).
