With the General Election a month away, migration into New Zealand continues to be a hot topic. Gareth Kiernan examines the figures and suggests they may be higher than most thought. Follow the link in the article to our report “Migration: Informing the Debate”.
This month we introduce our youngest economist, Brad Olsen, with both an interview and an article he has written. Brad takes a look at the “Infometrics Misery Index” and attempts to pick who’s going to win the election.
The theme of “hot topics” continues with Gareth’s latest article on the Auckland housing crisis. He examines the numbers and concludes that we are not building anything like as many houses as we thought.
On a more up-beat note, Infometrics is once again proud to sponsor the “Got a Trade, Got it Made” campaign, as this offers real world solutions for young people choosing their career paths.
