Since 2009, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has undertaken an annual survey of migrants as part of the Immigration Survey Monitoring Programme. The purpose of the Migrant Survey is to build an evidence base about migrants’ settlement experiences and labour market outcomes.
This report analyses data from the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment’s (MBIE’s) Migrant Surveys 2021 and 2022 for respondents who were waged or salaried employees. The analysis aims to identify the extent to which migrant employees are experiencing adverse working conditions, and the particular migrant groups that are more at risk.
Most migrants are settling well in New Zealand.
