Background report on women in the Auckland region
File No.: CP2015/05616
Purpose
1. This report provides an overview of:
· national and Auckland contexts for women, including key demographic and labour force related information
· Council programmes and activity which specifically or predominantly target/benefit women.
Executive Summary
2. Women make up 52 per cent of all people aged 15 and over living in Auckland. Maori women make up 5 per cent of this. Nationally and locally, women outperform men in education, yet receive a lower hourly wage. The gender pay gap in New Zealand, at ten per cent, is the lowest in the Asia-Pacific region.
3. Women continue to suffer as victims of domestic and sexual violence. A separate report is being presented to the committee to outline work to address this.
4. More women than men are unemployed, and the majority of unpaid work in the community is undertaken by women. This includes caring for the sick and elderly, community volunteer work and childcare.
5. Auckland Council delivers a range of programmes/activities specifically for women. However there is further work that could be done. This report highlights some of the activities being delivered by CDAC, Libraries and Parks, Sports and Recreation. Several of these activities have a kaupapa Maori focus.
Recommendation That the Community Development and Safety Committee: a) receive the report - Background report on women in the Auckland region. |
Women nationally[1]
6. In education women nationally achieve higher than men. The number of young women leaving school with at least Level Two NCEA and those participating in tertiary education and completing their studies continues to increase.
7. Despite achieving well academically, women in New Zealand generally receive lower hourly wages than men. Women in New Zealand also undertake significantly more unpaid work than men. About 63 per cent of women's work is unpaid versus 35 per cent for men. On the international scale, New Zealand’s 10 per cent gender pay gap is the lowest in the Asia-Pacific region.
8. With regard to rates of employment, the New Zealand labour force participation rate for women is 63.7 per cent (March 2014) against nearly 75 per cent for men. The percentage of women not in education, employment or training (NEET) generally is 6.4 per cent. The rate for Maori women is significantly higher at 28 per cent. (5.6 per cent of men generally and 18 per cent of Maori men are NEET).
Women in Auckland
9. As at the 2013 census, Auckland women were mostly European (60 per cent). The next-largest group were Asian women (24 per cent), followed by Pacific women (12 per cent) and Maori women (11 per cent). This is generally similar to the ethnic makeup of Auckland’s male population.
10. In 2013, 33 per cent of New Zealand’s women lived in Auckland (583,533 women). Women made up 52 per cent of Auckland’s population (15 years and over).
11. With regard to working conditions for Auckland women; the median personal income for full-time employed Auckland women in 2013 was $47,700 compared with $55,000 for men. The three industries employing the largest number of women were:
· health care and social assistance (44,970 women)
· education and training (37,395 women)
· retail (32,112 women).
-
12. At home, women make up 85 per cent of sole-parents (39,645 families). The majority of unpaid work in Auckland is undertaken by women. This includes activities such as caring for the sick and disabled in the community, and for children. For example, 66 per cent of women said that they looked after a child who was not of their household in the month leading up to the last census. 65 per cent had helped someone who was ill or had a disability and did not live in their household.
13. Women also continue to oversee the majority of childcare duties within their own households. Just over a third (35 per cent) of women had looked after a child who was a member of their own household in the month before the last census, without pay, compared with 28 per cent of men.
14. Unlike our relatively low gender pay gap, New Zealand’s rates of violence against women and children are among the highest in the OECD. One in four female youth and one in three Auckland women will experience physical or sexual violence from a partner in their lifetime. A separate paper will be discussed at this meeting which outlines current work to reduce this considerable harm.
Council initiatives for women
15. Council delivers several programmes and activities which specifically or predominantly target/benefit women.
16. Community Development, Arts and Culture, delivers the following activities:
· Connecting the Young Muslim Women Association with the ‘Connect to Sport’ project. The women’s association focusses on delivering a range of cultural, art and wellbeing activities to their members (approximately 500 women). This connection increased migrant families’ participation in social sport.
· Assisting the WISE Collective project to access council facilities and develop partnerships. The WISE collective supports refugee women to develop the necessary knowledge, skills, confidence and resources to start or contribute to activities for generating income for their families.
· Development of a multi-sector action plan to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence in Auckland. A Tangata Whenua caucus has been established and the caucus has developed a framework to support the multi-sector action plan. This framework will soon be presented to the Independent Māori Statutory Board, manawhenua and other key stakeholders. An update on this project is provided in a separate report to this committee meeting.
· Community Safety are exploring the potential for Auckland to adopt a ‘beyond the safe city’ approach which fosters the creation of a city where everyone feels safe, connected and able to participate in city life at any time of the day or night. This will require a holistic, integrated, multi-level government and multi-sectoral approach to improving the livability of cities and quality of life for all of Auckland’s urban residents.
17. Within Libraries and Information Services:
· Four teen-driven 'Teen Nights' held for young women from 14-21 years at Te Matariki Clendon Library. The library brought in experts to discuss topics requested by the group ranging from bullying to self-confidence.
· In 2014 Ngā Tuāhine e whitu o Matariki, Seven Sisters of Matariki exhibition featured photographs of female library staff with Māori heritage. Participating staff said “it is important today that as Māori women, we are telling our own stories and ensuring the world sees us through our own eyes."
· The ‘XXUnmasked’ media literacy project for young women won an award for community outreach. The pilot, led by Ali Coomber of Auckland Libraries and Dr Pani Farvid of Auckland University of Technology, was held with young women aged 13-18 years. Its aim was to encourage female teenagers to recognise and cope with the pressure placed on them by the media.
· Collaboration with the Department of Corrections on a two-year pilot project to provide library support services to women at the Auckland Region Women's Correction Facility in Wiri. This included special consideration of the needs of prisoners who are mothers and have their babies with them.
18. Within Parks, Sport and Recreation:
· The Auckland Sport and Recreation Strategic Action Plan 2014-2024 includes a focus to address the drop-off in participation by teenagers, particularly young women, in informal activity and formal sport during and after secondary school by developing innovative and affordable forms of physical activity, sport and sporting competition.
Potential future areas of focus for the council
19. Additional areas of focus for council with regard to the needs of women could include:
· reviewing how the Empowered Communities Approach can ensure women’s voices are heard
· developing projects which focus on significantly improving economic, social and cultural wellbeing for Maori and Pasifika women
· using council’s social procurement policy to empower women in the community
· exploring the combined impact of income inequity and housing affordability for women.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
20. Local board views have not been sought in the creation of this report. A number of the council projects mentioned in the report have been developed and delivered in consultation with local boards.
Maori impact statement
21. 11 per cent of women in Auckland, over the age of 15, identified as Maori in the 2013 census. This percentage is not spread evenly across the local board areas with higher percentage populations in some areas than others, particularly some of the southern local boards.
22. The age composition for Maori women is substantially younger, with 37 per cent of Maori women aged between 15 and 29, (11 per cent for the general female population). While the labour force data has not been analysed for this report by ethnicity, it is likely that Maori women will be more poorly reflected in the labour force data as outcomes for Maori are generally lower than for the general population.

File No.: CP2015/05928
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to report to the Community Development and Safety Forum on women in the workforce at Auckland Council.
Executive Summary
2. Women make up 61% of Auckland Council’s workforce overall (consistent with the Public sector 59% women, 41% men) and 35% of the senior leadership and executive lead teams (SLT and ELT) combined (statistics from July 2014). There are three women on the Executive leadership team; Patricia Reade (Transformation Director), Katherine Anderson (General Counsel) and Sue Tindal (Chief Financial Officer).
3. As at July 2014, women made up just under 30% senior leaders, looking at departmental heads and the executive leadership team.
4. In 2014, 52% applicants for graduate positions (41) were women and 63% of those offered positions were women. Seven of the eleven cadets from the 2014 intake are women.
That the Community Development and Safety Committee: a) receive the report on Women in the workforce at Auckland Council.

Comments
5. The gender pay data at council was first reviewed in 2013 and is reviewed annually. The significant gender differences within bands are at the most senior levels. The data is also analysed in terms of progression and tenure. The gender pay gap at Auckland Council results from the predominance of women in the lower salary bands and having fewer women in roles at the senior levels. Measures to focus on gender equity in terms of salary and career progression are planned for career development programmes and targets for gender and ethnicity at different levels are currently being discussed.
6. The impact of applying the social equity principle in the remuneration policy is greater for women, as they are more strongly represented in the lower salary bands. Women make up 83% of those in customer and business support roles (2,098). These include Library Assistants (358 employees in Band C) and Customer Service Representatives in call centres (118 employees in Band D).
7. A new flexible working policy and guidelines were adopted in 2014 and recently updated to reflect the legislative changes which took effect in March 2015. Auckland Council’s flexible working policy already allowed for flexible working arrangements for reasons other than caring responsibilities. Informal and formal flexible working arrangements are widespread across council.
8. The employee engagement survey is also analysed across gender (and ethnicity and age). Generally, women have a more positive view of employment at council.
9. A recent event held on March 6th at the Aotea Centre to celebrate International Women’s Day, with the 2015 theme of “Make it Happen” was attended by nearly 500 women. The event was hosted by Patricia Reade, Transformation Director and four women from across council spoke about their career paths. The speakers were Katherine Anderson, General Counsel; Rose McLaughlan, Manager of Policy in Building Control; Sarah Sinclair, Chief Engineer and Philippa Reed, Diversity Manager. The day was also promoted generally; people were encouraged to “go purple” for the day and money was raised for the Dress for Success charity. Feedback from the event (186 attendees completed a follow-up survey) was extremely positive. Recommendations from the feedback are being followed up, including further events, networking functions and groups and mentoring programmes/opportunities.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
10. There are no specific known local board views or implications on this topic.
Maori impact statement
11. Further research would need to be undertaken in order to ascertain the percentage of women in council’s workforce who identify as Maori. At this stage council does not have a comprehensive breakdown of its workforce by ethnicity.

Multi-sector action plan to prevent family, whanau and sexual violence in Auckland
File No.: CP2015/05634
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to update the Community Development and Safety Committee on the development of the multi-sector action plan to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence in Auckland.
Executive Summary
2. The Auckland Plan acknowledges the significant impact of family, whānau and sexual violence. New Zealand’s rates of violence against women and children are some of the highest in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries. One in three Auckland women will experience physical or sexual violence from a partner in their lifetime.
3. In early May, representatives from central Government, the family, whānau and sexual violence sector, the community and council will meet to develop a multi-sector action plan to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence in Auckland. The plan will be collectively owned.
That the Community Development and Safety Committee: a) receive the report, Multi-sector action plan to prevent family, whanau and sexual violence in Auckland.
|
Background
4. The Auckland Plan acknowledges the significant impact that family, whānau and sexual violence has in Auckland. Addressing whanau and sexual violence is a significant factor in making Auckland the world’s most liveable city.
5. New Zealand’s rates of violence against women and children are among the highest in the OECD. Across New Zealand, family violence accounts for fifty percent of all murders, three quarters of serious assaults, two thirds of all assaults, and one third of sexual assaults. One in four children will witness family violence. Around one in four female youth and one in eight male youth will experience sexual abuse. One in three Auckland women will experience physical or sexual violence from a partner in their lifetime. International research suggests that 50–90 per cent of disabled women have experienced violence.
6. Council is currently supporting the development of a multi-sector action plan to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence in Auckland. This plan is being developed in partnership with central Government and the family, whānau and sexual violence sector. The plan will be collectively owned.
7. The key partners have agreed the plan needs to have a strong focus on preventing violence from occurring (primary prevention) while continuing work to reduce risk for at-risk families and whānau (secondary prevention) and ensuring victims are kept safe and perpetrators are held accountable for their actions and supported to change their behaviour (tertiary prevention).
8. A summary of work to date and the key areas of action identified can be found in the Attachment A: “E Tu Tāmaki Makaurau – The Strategic Approach to Violence Prevention in Auckland”. Please note this is a living document and is being regularly updated.
Current Focus
9. In early May, representatives from Central Government, the family, whānau and sexual violence sector, the community and Auckland Council will meet to turn the key areas of action identified into an implementation plan.
10. In preparation for this meeting, community members from parts of Auckland experiencing higher rates of violence are being invited to discuss the nine identified areas of action and to each select two representatives to participate in the plan’s development.
11. Council staff are working with representatives from the family, whānau and sexual violence sector bring together a number of communities to discuss an approach to whanau and sexual violence in Auckland. Engagement will include representatives from Pasifika, Ethnic, Young People, Disability, Women, Rainbow and Older People’s communities.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
12. In June 2014, an information briefing was held for all local board members. From October – December 2014, individual and cluster workshops were held for all boards that expressed interest. A memo is being drafted to all local boards providing an update on the plan development and the community forums being organised. Local boards will also have the opportunity to provide formal feedback on the plan.
Māori impact statement
13. A Tangata Whenua caucus has been established and the caucus has developed a framework to support the multi-sector action plan. This framework will soon be presented to the Independent Māori Statutory Board, manawhenua and other key stakeholders.
Advisory Panel input
14. Invitations to the above forums will be sent to the Advisory Panels once completed. A report and presentation on this work will also be presented at the next Panel meetings.
Implementation
15. A timeline for development and implementation of a plan to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence in Auckland is outlined below.
