What happens to New Zealand when there are fewer young people, more older people, and many of our skilled workers are choosing to build their futures elsewhere?
Our country's population is rapidly aging, our birth rate has fallen to an all-time low, and many of our best and brightest are increasingly heading offshore in the pursuit of opportunity. What does Aotearoa, New Zealand, look like in five, ten and twenty years from now? What assumptions are we making that no longer hold true? What industries will prop up our economy? And who will be our workforce? Frances will share the data points, insights and prediction models that paint a picture of who we are as a nation today and who we will be in the future.

Key Takeaways:
See New Zealand’s future through the data: Explore the demographic shifts already reshaping Aotearoa - from an ageing population and record-low birth rates to migration and the changing shape of our workforce.
Challenge the assumptions we make about the future: Consider what these changes could mean for our economy, industries and communities, and which long-held assumptions about New Zealand may no longer hold true.
We’re delighted to be hosting this session at academyEX in Grafton, a contemporary learning environment focused on preparing people for a rapidly changing future - a fitting setting to explore how New Zealand is changing and what the decades ahead may hold.
