New Zealand

New Zealand currently holds a WokeMeter score of 58, placing it in a relatively high position on the global scale for policy signalling intensity, with a global rank of #15 among 186 countries and in the 91.4th percentile. This score reflects New Zealand's established policies in various dimensions of social signalling, such as the presence of same-sex marriage and protections for LGBTQ individuals. While the composite dimension scores are uniformly at 60, the overall assessment considers the recent absence of tracked events, which suggests a steady state rather than recent intensification in signalling. The historical presence of a female Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, contributes to New Zealand's signalling intensity, although her tenure ended, potentially moderating the impact of female leadership signalling.

The dimension scores, each marked at 60, indicate a balanced approach across different policy areas. New Zealand demonstrates consistent signalling in the Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Education & Curriculum Signalling, among others. This reflects the country's steady commitment to maintaining a base level of policy signalling across these sectors. The scores suggest that there is no single dimension with significantly higher or lower signalling intensity, indicating a uniform approach to Western-style progressive policies. This uniformity may imply that New Zealand's policy environment is stable, with no recent significant shifts or expansions in its social policy signalling efforts.
