New Zealand Economy Needs Immigration, Says Spoonley

The numbers of immigrants coming to New Zealand have been rising steadily for the past several  years. Many are happy with how things are going and then there are also some who feel like there seems to be too much immigrants in the country already and if they do not control immigration, immigration would cause problems to the country. Some say that too much immigrants can cause problems with the economy, in health, and when it comes to housing, among many other things.

However, an expert on immigration has been studying immigration in New Zealand and how it affects the country. Despite the numbers, this expert has disclosed that the high immigrants coming are not actually bad for New Zealand. In fact, immigration has been helping the country’s economy well. Of course, there is a twist to that. High levels of immigration to New Zealand will continue to be beneficial for everybody if and only if the country continues to keep having high standards for qualifying all of those who are interested in getting in.

Paul Spoonley and his study

Paul Spoonley is the expert who studied immigration in NewZealand. Spoonley works as a professor in Massey University. According to him, the bottom line when it comes to immigration in the country is that the immigrants actually help out the country in a positive way. There are definitely issues that arise with their coming over in the country. However, their contributions to the country are far more than the issues that they bring.

Spoonley had done the study after a report that was sent out by Statistics New Zealand, the official branch of the government that works with the data and numbers in the country. This report from Statistics New Zealand was published in April. As per the report, in the last year, there were 71,900 immigrants more that have come to the country.

Issues versus benefits

Spoonley has looked into various sides of the coin. He has recognized that immigration is definitely not the cause of the problems with housing and facilities for the public as well as transportation issues, as many people would have said. The truth is, Spoonley has seen that immigration has only emphasized these issues. These issues have already been present - immigration merely magnified it and that is why it is now felt more.

Capturing The Diversity Divident of Aotearoa New Zealand is a project. It is funded well for five million dollars. This program is actually looking into the diversity that is brought to New Zealand, thanks to immigration and immigrants. And this huge project is actually being led by Spoonley himself. Their study has been able to see that in the coming twenty years to thirty years, the population in Auckland, one of the top cities in the country, would be growing by 500,000.
