Webinar: The case for a population strategy

This webinar considers two recently released papers on New Zealand’s population future: People, place and prosperity – the case for a population strategy and Brain drain or business as usual? Looking past the headlines.

In this webinar, Georgia Lala, Professor Paul Spoonley and Sir Peter Gluckman discuss New Zealand’s need for a long-term and non-partisan population strategy to prepare for major demographic shifts, including an ageing population, declining fertility, migration flows, and uneven regional growth.

This webinar also looks at the current brain drain debate, asking whether recent migration trends represent a sudden crisis, a return to historical patterns, or a more complex story.
