NZ tops OECD in partner assault

Just released from the OECD database (despite the data being 5 years-old):




The data is sourced from the International Crime and Victim Survey (2004-2005) and European Crime and Safety Survey (2005) so the measures should be reasonably comparable.

NZ isn't just top - but top by a good margin.

In the following tables NZ = selection. The bottom and top values are displayed and the OECD average.

Our ranking for children in jobless homes is second only to the UK (17.6%) NZ (17.5%);



And finally, of the statistics where NZ deviates most from the average, NZ ranks 2nd = with Norway (10.0) in the gender pay gap for full-time employees.(The lowest value of 9.3 doesn't appear on the excel table.)



Strange picture.
