This report looks at the migration trends of migrants from the Pacific from 2012/13 to 2016/17 using Immigration New Zealand data. It also examines the settlement outcomes for Pacific migrants, primarily using data from the 2016 Migrants Survey.
Migrant Trends 2016-2017 is the 17th in an annual report series examining trends in temporary and permanent migration to and from New Zealand.
We proactively release Cabinet papers and supporting advice on our policy work.
New measures have come into force on 1 July 2021 to better protect migrants from exploitation.
We are changing the way employers recruit some migrants for temporary work in New Zealand.
Since it began in 2007, the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Scheme has enabled employers in the horticulture and viticulture sector to recruit an annually capped number of seasonal workers from eligible Pacific Island countries to plant, maintain, harvest, or pack crops.
From time to time we seek public comment on a specific issue through a formal consultation process.
The Regional Tourism Indicators (RTIs) measure the change in level of expenditure of both international and domestic travellers in New Zealand by region.
We conducted a review of the Regional Tourism Indicators from March to September 2015.
Regional Tourism Indicator (RTI) data is presented as indexes, and can be compared between years, however there are some limitations to its use.
