Labour Market Analysis and Knowledge (M63)

Scope of Appropriation

Provides labour market information; analysis and validation of regional labour market information; participation on regional and sector labour market focused groups; and connections back to and across government.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will increase by $3.588 million to $10.613 million for 2007/08. The increase is mainly due to:

  • the drawdown of the Vote Employment Contingency for the Department of Labour's knowledge role ($2.800 million), and
  • transfer from 2006/07 for the Department of Labour's knowledge role ($800,000).

Policy, Research and Evaluation (M63)#

Scope of Appropriation#

This appropriation provides strategic advice and information about the labour market and its role in improving employment, social and economic outcomes for New Zealand.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation will decrease by $786,000 to $7.085 million in 2007/08.  This decrease is mainly due to expenditure transfers to 2008/09 associated with the:

  • linked Employer-Employee Dataset (LEED) programme ($350,000), and
  • upskilling Research and Evaluation programme ($430,000).
