Why do people migrate to New Zealand?

Economic reasons I believe, is a main motivator towards decisions to migrate to New Zealand. According to information collected from ‘Statistics’, the majority of motives towards moving from residence to residence is employment. From the age groups 20 to 69 years old, majority of reasons from moving are all economic motives. Due to economic growth during the 60’s, New Zealand's population increased due to immigrants.

Our task was to explain in our own words why people migrate to NZ. The skill we were practising was to find evidence, to support our thinking.
