Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · Jul 5, 2022 · 4m

It's not all doom and gloom when it comes to our wellbeing.

Stats NZ's 2021 Wellbeing data shows just over 28 percent of people report poor mental wellbeing, up just under six percent from 2018.

But Wellbeing Principal Analyst Claire Bretherton told Kate Hawkesby there's some positive stuff in the numbers too.

She says most New Zealanders are satisfied with their lives, something that hasn't changed from 2018.

Bretherton says a lot of people are also optimistic for the future.
