Migration after Covid-19: New Zealand closed the border to prioritise the wellbeing of everyone here, and when we reopen it, we should have the same goal in mind
Wilson, Peter; Fry, Julie | July 2020
Abstract
New Zealand has put up a ‘no entry’ sign. As well as stopping international tourism, we have turned off historically high rates of inward economic migration, forgoing what has been at best a small positive impact on GDP per capita. With pause pressed on inflows, immigration is presently all stock, with no meaningful flow across the border.
