Population In New Zealand Gets Needed Boost From Immigration

The net immigration for New Zealand for the year 2018 has been quite good for the country in terms of numbers. The estimate for the total number of immigrants coming to New Zealand for 2018 was at 50,200 individuals. It may be lower than the number that was recorded for the year before that which was at 52,600 individuals but they are pretty much in the same range and is just the right amount of what New Zealand needs. The data is as per Statistics New Zealand, which is the official agency of the country’s government that deals with statistics and data.

The country is quite huge and has a huge land area. Though the population may already be big, the country still needs more people to be part of the country and immigration has been a big factor in the growth. Immigrants have been very helpful not only in bringing the population up but also very beneficial to the country’s economy and labor market.

Where the numbers are coming from

Over 50% of the immigrants who came to New Zealand were from Asia, with a huge portion of them coming from two major countries – China and India. In four years, this group has grown from 38,600 up to 47,800 in 2018. During the same period, there was an increase of 11,200 immigrants who have come from the United Kingdom.

Tehseen Islam works at Statistics New Zealand as the manager for population indicators. On the numbers, Islam said that the country has been experiencing a period where the numbers are sustained. The statistics have it though that the number of immigrants coming in is relative to the country’s population. Islam also continued that the high rate of immigrants coming to New Zealand has been very helpful in bringing up the population which is a good thing for New Zealand. There has been growth with an average of 2% for each year and this has been happening in the last four years.

Islam also said that despite the huge amount of people arriving and staying in the country, there is also a good portion of these people leaving New Zealand. This reflects that there is definitely a good portion of the immigrants coming to the country simply for work or for studies.

The need for immigrants

New Zealand is happy to have immigrants joining them. This is because immigrants have been very helpful in keeping the economy strong and stable. They have also been a good addition to the labor market. Not all young Kiwis are not that willing to relocate for jobs if it is required. However, employers in the country have found out that immigrants are more flexible and are willing to go anywhere in the country if the job asks them to do that.
