New Zealand diaspora

Last updated

The New Zealand diaspora is the group of people living outside of New Zealand whose ancestors migrated from New Zealand.

New Zealanders generally migrate to other OECD countries, with about 600,000 diaspora members in OECD countries in 2015, constituting 13.5% of New Zealand's national population; [1] in particular, New Zealanders often go to Australia because of the similarities, geographical closeness, and friendly institutional arrangements between the two nations. [2] [3] [1]

In the past, the diaspora was seen in a negative light by the New Zealand government; at the turn of the 21st century, however, increasingly neoliberal policies led to the diaspora being seen as an asset of New Zealand. [4] [5] [6]

Human capital flight is the emigration or immigration of individuals who have received advanced training in their home country. The net benefits of human capital flight for the receiving country are sometimes referred to as a "brain gain" whereas the net costs for the sending country are sometimes referred to as a "brain drain". In occupations with a surplus of graduates, immigration of foreign-trained professionals can aggravate the underemployment of domestic graduates, whereas emigration from an area with a surplus of trained people leads to better opportunities for those remaining. But emigration may cause problems for the home country if the trained people are in short supply there.

Human migration is the movement of people from one place to another, with intentions of settling, permanently or temporarily, at a new location. The movement often occurs over long distances and from one country to another, but internal migration is the dominant form of human migration globally.
