Fact File: External MigrationNZ to Australia

2.3% of the Australian population is New Zealand-born.

Australian unemployment rate = 4.9%; NZ unemployment rate = 6.6%

Australian workers on average are paid 30% more than NZ workers

For every skilled worker that leaves NZ for Australia, the NZ government loses

about $15,000 in tax and wasted education costs.

44% of NZ businesses report skill shortages and difficulty in finding the rightperson for the job (world average = 34%)

30% of the immigrants from New Zealand to Australia were born outside of NZ,

so Australians complain that it is like a back-door entry for unskilled migrants.

NZers got a bad reputation for arriving in Australia and then going on welfare,but since 2001 they now have to wait 2 years

Fact File: External MigrationAsia/Pacific to NZ

Auckland is now the largest Polynesian city in the world.

Demand for labourers in NZ attracted many Polynesians during the 60s and 70s.

Social impacts of the migration on the islands include loss of language,agricultural skills and traditional arts and crafts.

The last 15 years have seen a massive increase in Asian immigration, since thecountry of origin criterion was removed from visa applications.

Asian immigrants have contributed millions of dollars to the NZ economy, andhas strengthened trade links with Asian countries

Because most immigrants arrive and stay in Auckland, house prices haveincreased dramatically. On average, a house in Auckland doubles in price everynine years.

Many Asians are attracted to NZ for the lifestyle, and for education especiallyto learn English.
