New Zealand Economy Should Be Thankful To Immigration

Records have been broken. Again and again and again. That is, looking at the immigration data in New Zealand. An expert in immigration has been looking at the data and the situation in New Zealand. Despite many individuals saying that immigration in NZ is a bad thing as there are plenty of issues growing, immigration expert Paul Spoonley is saying that as long as the country keeps its standards in immigration high and good, the country would continuously be benefitting from it.

Spoonley is a renowned professor at Massey University in the country. He says that the important thing to remember is the contribution that these immigrants bring the country. The issues are there but the contribution to the economy that the immigrants bring is way heavier than the issues that seem to have crop up.

The rise in numbers

According to data from Statistics New Zealand, there has been a rise in the number of immigrants who have come to the country in a year. The average should be around 72,000. That is definitely a huge number and it has been bringing a lot of concern for many people. Some believe that there are too many people in the country. However, what is happening is that there are more people living in top cities but the country is really not that populated if you are going to take a look at the whole area.

There are issues that have risen which include inadequate housing as well as problems with public facilities and transportation. However, from Spoonley’s study, he has disclosed that immigration has just amplified the existing conditions. That is why it is more noticeable now.

The research

Spoonley has been heading a huge project. This is worth five million dollars and it is looking into how immigration is changing the landscape of New Zealand. It is also looking at the diversity that is happening in the country and the effects that it brings.

The study has seen that in the coming 20 up to 30 years, population in the largest cities of New Zealand just may go up by 500,000. That is definitely huge and if these cities continue to be what it is, these places would definitely be filled with a lot of people.

What could be done is to actually make sure that there are more new places that people can live in and not just these main cities. That way, there would be a lot less problems happening in the most populated areas. Immigration has been a huge factor in the country’s strong economy as they provide the best labor and are reliable workers. By putting jobs in other areas, the chances of people moving to these areas just may happen and so overpopulation in the top cities would not be a reality.
