Ira
The Growing Up in NZ study found that when asked about their gender identity:
- 46.2% of young people selected ‘Boy’.
- 37.8% of young people selected 'Girl'.
- 15% selected ‘Mostly a boy’, ‘Somewhere in the middle’, or ‘Mostly a girl’.
- Just over 1.1% of the sample said ‘I don’t know’.
The Youth ’19 report found approximately one out of every 100 respondents identified with a minority gender.
