Unfortunately the only demographic info in the 'leavers' part of the report is about which country people come from. Which is where the rigmarole & headlines about 50% of Taiwanese Visa holders leaving NZ came from. Perhaps not surprisingly, it's the Asian (non-English as primary language) countries who have lots of people leaving NZ. Work & WTR is a difficult one, since if you lose your job for whatever reason, you may be kicked out anyhow - potentially through no fault of your own. :( Still, why are migrants leaving NZ? would make an interesting followup blog post...

Not actually always true.

I don't want *another* pay cut! I already had to settle for one when returning to work after the munchkin was born (settled rather than continuing to search because tbh, being a full-time mum was doing my head in). This does make interesting reading though. Is there anything in there to say which migrants are more likely to leave? Mostly those lured in by the promise of WTR, I suppose.. Ack!
