Reducing net migration will not be enough to solve New Zealand’s housing issue or lack of infrastructure, as reducing numbers will also close the tap for labour, a sociologist says.
Net migration spiked to 72,000 last year, double what New Zealand’s natural population increase would have been.
The countries that contributed the most to this figure were China (10,351), India (7409) and the United Kingdom (6728). That was followed by South Africa, the Philippines, France and Germany.
The Government is expecting its policies to cut net migration by 20,000 to 30,000 people a year, mostly by limiting the number of student and work visas granted.
