2 NEW ZEALAND IMMIGRATION TARANAKI OVERVIEW 2015 MIGRATION AND LABOUR FORCE TRENDS Taranaki Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of Taranaki’s recent migrant population and migration trends, with a particular focus on Taranaki’s labour market. The report shows trends to 2014/15 and compares recent immigration patterns with previous years. The primary data sources used in the report are Statistics New Zealand’s 2013 Census of Population and Dwellings and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) 2014/15 immigration administrative data. The data are publicly available through Statistics New Zealand, Immigration NZ and MBIE’s websites. Taranaki has a small but growing overseas-born population Thirteen percent of Taranaki’s population (or 13,227 people) were born overseas, compared with 25 percent for New Zealand overall. This is an increase from the 9 percent (or 9,078 people) reported in the 2001 Census. The majority of the overseas-born population were born in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The share of Taranaki residents born in these countries is higher compared with the overall New Zealand population (40 percent in Taranaki versus 26 percent nationwide). Taranaki’s overseas- born qualification is more likely to be highly qualified compared with its New Zealand-born population.
Taranaki, in general, has a lower unemployment rate and a higher participation rate compared with the national average. Aggregated by birthplace, the overseas-born population in the region has a lower unemployment rate compared with the New Zealand-born population. Over time, the unemployment rate of the overseas-born population in the region has been showing a downward trend.
In 2014/15, two percent (or 142 people) of New Zealand’s approved Skilled Migrant Category principal applicants (i.e. permanent migrants) found employment in the Taranaki region. This is a decrease of 14 percent on the previous period. India, the United Kingdom and the Philippines were the top source countries for skilled migrants in the region. The top three occupations of skilled migrants in Taranaki in 2014/15 were Retail Managers (10 percent), Registered Nurses (9 percent) and Chefs (8 percent).
In 2014/15, 424 people were approved for Essential Skills work visa in the region. This is a 40 percent decrease over the past year. The United Kingdom, the Philippines and India were the top source countries for Essential Skills workers in the region. The top three main occupations of Essential Skills workers in Taranaki in 2014/15 were Marine Transport Professionals (12 percent), Livestock Farmers (10 percent) and Chefs (8 percent).

The Taranaki region had one of the smallest shares of international students in the country, making up one percent of the total student visas granted. Over the past year, there has been a decrease in the number of new international students in the region.
NEW ZEALAND IMMIGRATION TARANAKI OVERVIEW 2015 MIGRATION AND LABOUR FORCE TRENDS
Introduction The Taranaki region is situated on the west coast of the North Island. The volcanic peak of Mount Taranaki, which last erupted in the mid-18th century, is a dominant feature of the landscape and was the film location for the movie, “The Last Samurai”. The rich volcanic soil and high rainfall support a successful dairy farming industry. Taranaki’s main centres are New Plymouth and Hawera. The Hawera milk factory collects 14 million litres of milk a day and produces the largest volume of dairy ingredients, from a single factory, anywhere in the world. Taranaki has land-based and off-shore oil and gas deposits, which are major contributors to the regional economy. The Taranaki Basin is currently New Zealand’s only hydrocarbon producing area, and makes up the major part of the country’s natural gas resources. Taranaki’s Regional Economic Development Strategy 2010-2035, produced by Venture Taranaki, lists “Talented Taranaki” as one of its six themes. The Talented Taranaki campaign is intended to enhance growth and remove barriers to development, address skills shortages and boost productivity. Their goal is to grow, retain, inspire and attract an educated and skilled community. The Taranaki region has a population of 109,608, ranking it tenth in size out of the 16 regions in New Zealand. The local population has increased five percent since the 2006 Census and is home to three percent of the New Zealand population. Taranaki has a high proportion of people who belong to the European ethnic group. Eighty-six percent of the region’s residents identify themselves as European (compared with 74 percent for New Zealand overall), 17 percent identify as Māori, 3 percent as Asian and 2 percent as Pacific. Taranaki’s overseas-born population is smaller compared with New Zealand’s overall. Thirteen percent of people in the Taranaki region were born overseas, compared with 25 percent for the total New Zealand population. Forty percent of Taranaki’s overseas-born population were born in the United Kingdom and Ireland. 4 NEW ZEALAND IMMIGRATION TARANAKI OVERVIEW 2015 MIGRATION AND LABOUR FORCE TRENDS Background A driving goal of Government is to build a more competitive and internationally focused economy. Migration plays a key role in meeting this goal as it helps to grow New Zealand’s labour force, which in turn drives our economy. Migration also increases international connections that give access to foreign knowledge, foreign capital and international trade. In July 2014, Government approved the New Zealand Migrant Settlement and Integration Strategy, a revised approach to successfully settle and integrate migrants in New Zealand. The Migrant Settlement and Integration Strategy builds on the New Zealand Settlement Strategy which led Settlement work in New Zealand for the past decade. It places value on the economic contribution of migration and stresses the importance of the long-term integration of migrants in conjunction with successful initial settlement. The Strategy’s aim is that migrants: “Make New Zealand their home, participate fully and contribute to all aspects of New Zealand life”. Key to achieving this aim are the Strategy’s five outcomes – Employment, Education and Training, Inclusion, English Language and Health and Wellbeing ( see Figure 1). Employment, and Education and Training are the key outcomes for the Strategy (reflecting their importance to the Government’s Business Growth Agenda). However all five outcomes are strongly interconnected and contribute to the Strategy’s aim, as well as to each other. For example, good English language skills and good health support migrants’ participation in employment, while education and training helps them to make social connections that support their wellbeing and inclusion. Sixteen indicators measure progress towards achievement of the five outcomes overseas.

Migrants make
New Zealand their home, participate fully and contribute to all aspects
of New Zealand life. Outcome 1: Employment Working-age migrants
have work that matches their skills and New Zealand- ready qualifications Outcome 2: Education and Training Migrants achieve educational and vocational qualifications
Migrants enjoy healthy lives and feel confident and safe
Outcome 3: English Language Migrants confidently use English in their daily lives Outcome 4: Inclusion Migrants participate in and have a sense of belonging to their community and to New Zealand As part of the Strategy, regional support to attract and retain migrants is being stepped up, with Immigration New Zealand establishing new Regional Partnership Agreements, the first of which was developed for the Auckland region. Quality immigration data on the current migration population in Taranaki, their participation in the workforce, as well as future projections of inward and outward migration helps inform Taranaki’s economic planning, and in turn can help deliver on the outcomes defined in the Migration Settlement and Integration Strategy. 6 NEW ZEALAND IMMIGRATION TARANAKI OVERVIEW 2015 MIGRATION AND LABOUR FORCE TRENDS NEW ZEALAND IMMIGRATION AUCKLAND OVERVIEW 2014 MIGRATION AND LABOUR FORCE TRENDS Taranaki’s migrant demographics Taranaki is the tenth most populous region of the 16 regions in New Zealand. The 2013 Census reported Taranaki’s usual resident population at 109,608, or three percent of New Zealand’s population. The 2013 Census showed that 13 percent of Taranaki’s population was born overseas. This is lower than the 25 percent of the overseas-born population recorded across the overall New Zealand population. Population size and gender The share of the overseas-born population in Taranaki has been constantly growing but has remained less than that of the overall New Zealand population. The 2001 Census reported that 9 percent of the region’s population was born overseas; this increased to 11 percent in the 2006 Census and further increased to 13 percent in the 2013 Census. This is illustrated in Figure 2.

The Taranaki region has a larger share of overseas-born individuals who were born in the United Kingdom and Ireland in comparison with the overall New Zealand overseas-born population (see Table 1). Forty percent of the overseas-born residents in Taranaki were born in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Compared with the national average, the region also has a higher share of residents born in Australia.

Taranaki’s economy will continue to rely on offshore skills and talent to support its growth. Table 3 shows that the overseas-born population is more likely to be highly qualified than the New Zealand-born population. In Taranaki, 26 percent of those born overseas have a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared with only 10 percent of the New Zealand-born population. The trend is similar for New Zealand overall.

Migration and the Taranaki labour market Immigration New Zealand (as part of MBIE), recognises the significance that migration plays in meeting workforce needs, and together with local council and economic development agencies has a shared interest in attracting and retaining migrants to Taranaki to meet skills shortages. Immigration New Zealand’s priorities align with the Government’s Business Growth Agenda which promises lifting the skills and productivity of the workforce overall and ensuring skills migration meets New Zealand’s needs.
Taranaki’s migrants make for a labour market that is both ethnically and culturally diverse. This creates opportunities as well as challenges and reaffirms the need for long-term economic and social integration of migrants as an integral part of the region’s economic growth. Taranaki region’s population is projected to increase by an average of 0.5 percent a year between 2013 and 2043, increasing to 130,200 people in 2043. Taranaki employs three percent of New Zealand’s workers. Industries with the highest share of workers in the region are in Manufacturing (14 percent), Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (13 percent) and Health Care and Social Assistance (10 percent). 1 This section will focus on migrant participation in Taranaki’s labour force. As stated in a technical report published by Auckland Council 2 : participation, employment and unemployment rates are three of the most commonly reported and widely understood indicators of the state of the labour market. Together, these three indicators can provide insight into the pressures that individuals are facing in relation to finding and keeping a job, and the decisions they make about whether to seek work or whether to pursue other, non-work activities. Table 4 summarises the employment rate, unemployment rate and participation rate of the working- age population in Taranaki in 2013, split by those born overseas and born in New Zealand. Taranaki in general has a lower unemployment rate and a higher participation rate compared with the national average. The overseas-born population in Taranaki has a lower unemployment rate compared with the New Zealand-born population. 1 Source: 2013 Census, Statistics New Zealand 2 Auckland Council (2014): The Labour Market and Skills in Auckland 2014: Technical Report 2014/026
