Job Description
Background on the work programme
The mission of the Code Modules Initiative is to make New Zealand’s integrated data assets easier to use, and understandable for everyone, including non-technical people.
Following a successful pilot in 2022, this work has attracted the backing of eight agencies and non-government users, who see value in creating data tools, called “code modules,” that contain high-quality code and documentation for foundational measures needed by researchers – such as benefit receipt, migration status, highest qualification, employment status, and total income. The initiative is now expanding to support the growing demands on administrative data from delivery of the Social Investment approach, and shifts toward greater use of administrative data in the production of official statistics.
