AN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM FIT FOR THE FUTURE

摘要

The Productivity Commission has published an issues paper for its inquiry into New Zealand's working-age immigration system and is calling for submissions.Commission chair, Ganesh Nana, says that migrants make a significant contribution to Aotearoa but that we don't currently know how immigration has affected productivity growth and well-being in New Zealand."If we are serious about increasing prosperity and welfare in New Zealand, we need to take the full picture into account."Nana says in a statement that the commission's inquiry is the first fundamental review of the immigration system since the 1990s, noting that it's an opportunity to review and propose policy settings that better promote the well-being of all New Zealanders.
