Immigrants In New Zealand Has An Increasing Number Of Children, Seniors

Recent news has announced that the government of New Zealand has finally decided that it was time to bring back the program that would allow immigrants in the country to bring their parents there. This decision has come in the midst of the rising number of individuals who are at least 60 years old who are entering New Zealand as immigrants. So far, the recent number of seniors entering the country is one of the highest ever recorded.

This is not a surprising thing since New Zealand is quite known for its beautiful and well-preserved nature which is good for those who are looking for peace and serenity, especially during their senior years. Many people who have experienced stress for most of their lives choose to be immigrants in this country since the country also promotes a work-life balance, thus making people a lot more relaxed and chill. A huge number of retirees who are looking for a better country to live in choose New Zealand.

Numbers for immigration in New Zealand

In a report published by Statistics New Zealand, the government agency has noted that there were around 8930 immigrants who arrived in New Zealand that were at least 60 years old. This is in a 12-month period that ended on July 31st of 2019. The agency has disclosed that this was the highest ever recorded number of seniors moving to New Zealand as immigrants since they have started to compile data back in 2015.

There have also been a number of immigrants who are 60 years old and above who have chosen to leave the country and move to a new one or go back to their home country. For the same period, around 7000 have left the country. This means that there are not really that many senior immigrants who are in the country since many have moved in while there are also a significant amount of seniors who have left.

Children of immigrants in New Zealand

Data from Statistics New Zealand have shown that children of immigrants have also accounted for a huge amount of the total amount of immigrants in the country. For the same 12-month period, there were around 14,800 immigrants who were less than 18 years old who have joined their parents in New Zealand. This number amounts to 28 per cent of the entire amount of immigrants for that period. That number is higher as compared to the 20.3 per cent of children of immigrants recorded for the same 12-month period ending in July 31st of 2014.

Adding the number of senior immigrants and those who are minors, the two groups total to around 31.6 per cent of the total number of immigrants. This number is surely higher than five years before when their total was just 24.7 per cent.
