Welcome from the Director
It is my pleasure to present the 2011 NIDEA Annual Report. Having launched NIDEA in November
2010, the Directorate staff began the National Institute of Demographic and Economic Analysis’s
establishment phase in 2011 with considerable enthusiasm and energy. Alongside work on a broad
range of existing projects, the team focussed on developing NIDEA’s organisational structure and
resources, building its research capacity, and promoting its teaching and research expertise.
New positions were created and
others restructured, including
expanding the number of Research
Assistants and Research Associates
to provide a wider research and
advisory capacity. A steady stream
of visitors also helped to build new
research networks and
collaborations, as did the building of
research teams to apply for outside
external grants. The NIDEA Seminar
Series and NIDEA Working Paper
Series were initiated, and provided a
showcase for in-house research and
overseas visitors.
New students were welcomed into the discipline of demography at every level of teaching, and a
number of courses were adapted to accommodate the interests of the expanding number of postgraduate students. At the teaching/research interface, NIDEA welcomed and supervised a total of
eight Summer Research Scholars over the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 summer breaks, with each
student undertaking a research topic aligned with one of NIDEA's five themes. NIDEA also provided
in-the-field experience for two international students undertaking postgraduate overseas degrees.
It was a busy year, for despite the rigours of being in an establishment phase staff members
delivered an impressive collection of published papers/books/chapters and presentations, and gave
a significant number of media interviews and seminars. Presentations given to a wide spectrum of
stakeholders in university research resulted in a significant interest in NIDEA's demographic and
economic research capacity and an increasing number of requests for NIDEA's expertise from local
health providers, city and regional councils, as well as requests from other research institutes to
collaborate on projects. Similarly, participation in international conferences has led to invitations to
future conferences and collaboration in research programmes.
In the next few years, we look forward to building on the dedicated work of staff during the 2011
establishment phase.

Background to NIDEA
The National Institute of Demographic and Economic Analysis
(NIDEA) was launched on November 24th 2010; its mission, to
undertake research that will help inform choices and responses to
the demographic, social and economic forces that are shaping New
Zealand's future.
Initially an informal collaboration of researchers at the University of
Waikato’s Population Studies Centre, Waikato Management School,
and Wellington-based Motu
Economic and Public Policy
Research Trust, NIDEA now links together a virtual community
of leading national and international researchers working at
the interface of demography and economics. NIDEA research
supports and guides decision-making in a broad range of areas
such as the labour market, healthcare, local government planning, housing and education, welfare,
business enterprise and the market generally. NIDEA also contributes to the building of research
capacity in the field through its undergraduate teaching,
supervision of graduate and postgraduate students, and
workshops.
Hosted by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) NIDEA’s establishment is being guided by a
four-member Interim Management Committee comprising NIDEA Director Professor Natalie Jackson,
Motu Director Howard Fancy, Professor Dan Zirker (then Dean FASS) and Professor Frank
Scrimgeour, Dean WMS. Professor Zirker was replaced by Acting Dean Dr David Lumsden in
November.
Major Achievements
This year we highlight the emergence of a new generation of demographers
Since launching in November 2010, NIDEA has become home to a cohort of talented and awardwinning demographers-in-training who are working across a broad range of population research
topics. Building demographic capability and providing meaningful research opportunities for
students to work alongside senior researchers is a key part of the NIDEA vision, and we are delighted
to highlight these successes as evidence of the value of research-led teaching.
Moana Rarere entered NIDEA’s Masters programme in 2011 after obtaining First Class Honours in
Social Policy. During the year Moana worked on several projects with Dr Tahu Kukutai, including an
action research project in the Hokianga and a study of Māori transnationalism using Census data
from four countries. Moana has been awarded a number of scholarships from the University of
Waikato (Māori excellence postgraduate award; University of Waikato Masters research scholarship;
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Masters thesis award), as well as awards from the Waikato
Graduate Women Charitable Trust and Whakatane Historical Society.
One of NIDEA’s first summer scholars (2010-2011) and now the Institute’s first graduate with a
major in Population Studies, Rachael Hutt joined NIDEA as a Research Assistant in February. During
2011 Rachael was also completing her undergraduate degree and in the process amassed an
impressive list of awards, including Golden Key's Asia-Pacific Outstanding Academic Achievement
Award, the Katherine M. Bell memorial prize for the University of Waikato’s top Geography student,
5
and the 2011 PANZ Jacoby prize for her paper ‘New Zealand’s sole parents and their marital status:
Updating the last decade’, supervised by Professor Jackson.
Another star graduate to have taken papers in population studies since NIDEA’s inception, Maraea
Mullane-Ronaki worked for Dr Kukutai and Professor Jackson on a summer scholarship project
(2011-2012) ‘Finding the demographic dividend for Māori’. Maraea’s excellent studies saw her
complete 2011 with a University of Waikato Māori postgraduate excellence award.
Jaimee Phillips undertook a Directed Study in NIDEA under Professor Poot’s supervision. Jaimee
researched differences in returns to foreign and domestic education in New Zealand. She was also
a 2010-2011 Student Summer scholar. Her research was funded by the Integration of Immigrants
Programme. She started out her work as Jaimee Frew, but perhaps influenced by the exposure to
demographic processes at NIDEA, got married and finished as Jaimee Phillips. A poster from her
paper won the 2011 NZIER Student Poster Competition at the 52nd Annual Conference of the NZ
Association of Economists, Amora Hotel, Wellington, 29 June - 1 July. Jaimee now works as a
management trainee at the Head Office of the Bank of New Zealand in Auckland.
PhD student Steven Bond-Smith, who is supervised by Professor Jacques Poot, Philip McCann and
Les Oxley, won the Student Presentation Award at the 22nd Pacific Regional Science Conference
held in Seoul, Korea, 3-6 July for his paper ‘A regional model of growth with creative destruction’.
Finally, we recently learned that undergraduate Jackson Mason-Mackay was awarded the 2011
Borrie prize for the best undergraduate essay for his submission, ‘Gaining from the brain drain: Why
the emigration of skilled workers may be aiding development’. Sponsored by the Australian
Population Association, the annual Borrie prize promotes excellence in population-relevant research
across all academic disciplines. Over the 2011-2012 Summer, Jackson worked with Professor Jackson
on a project to produce socio-demographic profiles for several Territorial Authorities.

Awards
In September, Natalie Jackson, along with Richard Arnold (VUW), Sharleen
Forbes (University of Victoria and Statistics New Zealand), Alan Lee
(University of Auckland), John Harraway (University of Otago), Andrew
Sporle (University of Auckland), and Jenny Brown / Greg Breetzke
(University of Canterbury), were awarded the International Statistical
Literacy Project's ‘Best Cooperative Project Award’ in Statistical Literacy
for ‘A post-graduate programme in official statistics’. The crossinstitutional and cross-disciplinary course was taught via the KAREN
network, and was an initiative of Statistics New Zealand and NAOS (the
Network of Academics in Official Statistics). See
http://msor.victoria.ac.nz/Courses/ORST482_2011T2/WebHome
The award is given once every two years in recognition of outstanding,
innovative, and influential statistical literacy projects that affect a broad segment of the general
public and are fruit of the cooperation of different types of institutions (national statistical offices,
schools, statistical societies, media, libraries etc.). It was won jointly with an Ethiopian initiative
‘North-South-South (NSS) International Collaborative Project in Biostatistics’.

International Collaborations
Emeritus Professor Ian Pool is Co-Editor-in-Chief, with Prof Yves
Charbit, Centre de Population et Developpement, University of
Paris, Descartes, of a book series being published by Springer,
“Demographic Transformation and Socio-Economic Development”.
The first books, being edited at present, should appear in 2012.
During 2011, Professor Jacques Poot continued his research on the
project Migrant Diversity and Regional Disparity in Europe (MIDIREDIE), which is funded by the European funding agency Norface.
This research necessitated three trips to Europe, where he was
primarily based at VU University in Amsterdam. He also continued
his relationship with IZA - Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn
and with the Centre of Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM)
at University College London.
In August, Professor Jacques Poot also visited Purdue University. Jacques is an External Faculty
Member in the Graduate School of Agricultural Economics. Besides giving a seminar at Purdue
University, he also participated in the final oral defence of his PhD student Julia Beckhusen.
Professor Richard Bedford was engaged in two major international
collaborations during 2011. The first was with Professor Graeme Hugo
from the University of Adelaide on Pacific Migration futures. They
completed a major report commissioned by the Department of Labour
(NZ) and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (Australia)
entitled Population Movement in the Pacific: A Perspective on Future
Prospects. This report was presented to a joint meeting of senior New
Zealand and Australian immigration officials in September 2011 at the
Australia New Zealand Immigration Forum, and then at separate
meetings of immigration officials in Canberra (late November) and in
Wellington (December). The report was published on the Department
of Labour’s website early in 2012.
The second collaboration was with Professor Brian Opeskin from Macquarie University’s Law School
and has led to a contribution for a book on International Migration Law to be published by
Cambridge University Press. The book involves 16 international collaborators, mainly from Europe,
North America and Australasia, and the draft chapters for the book were presented at a workshop
co-ordinated by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Geneva in May 2011. The
book is currently in press and will appear in the second half of 2012.

Reports from Theme Leaders
NIDEA’s research programme comprises five interconnected themes and is supported and sustained
by a strong capacity-building programme - the NIDEA Demographic Laboratory. The programme
addresses the most central questions of population studies – demographic transitions, population
ageing, population distribution, migration, and ethnic and cultural diversity, and links them to
economic, political and social transformations, such as the ageing of the labour force and regional
development, to help inform policy-makers and planners at local and national level.
New Zealand 2050 (An Ageing New Zealand)
Research Theme Leader: Professor Natalie Jackson
This research theme looks at how inexorable demographic
shifts will affect the nation's social and economic
development over the first half of this century. Separate
but overlapping projects address the likely effects of age
structural transitions on a broad range of issues, such as
labour supply and demand, and future welfare demand and
provision.
In 2011, much of NIDEA’s research under this theme
focused on developing an overview of the demographic
forces shaping the nation’s future. The first output in the new NIDEA Working Paper Series was
named accordingly (see below) and findings from this work were presented by invitation to 12
audiences, among them the Royal Society’s Speakers Science Forum at Parliament on May 3rd, and
featured in around 20 media interviews.

population ageing [really] means, NIDEA Working Papers No. 1, National Institute of
Demographic and Economic Analysis, University of Waikato, Hamilton.
Also under this theme, Dr Andrew Coleman (Motu) has been working on PAYGO (pay as you go) and
SAYGO (save as you go) retirement incomes, using demographic projections out to 2050 and beyond.
Part of this work calculates how much each cohort up to the cohort turning 60 in 2046 will pay in
taxes and will expect to receive in pension benefits.

New Zealand’s regions and communities (A regionally and ethnically diverse New Zealand)
Research Theme Leader: Adjunct Professor David Maré
NIDEA’s ‘regions and communities’ theme concentrates on the sub-national dimensions of
demographic, social and economic transformation, the dynamics and implications of which are not
uniformly unfolding across the country. Projects include the changing role of Auckland, the
settlement and integration of immigrants, and the end of growth in non-urban regions.
In 2011, NIDEA Summer Scholars Rachael Hutt and Jennifer Weal began the task of updating a set
of ten Discussion Papers focusing on New Zealand’s Regions, 1986-2006. This work continues, with
three of the papers nearing completion. NIDEA Summer Scholars and Research Assistants also
assisted Professor Natalie Jackson to begin developing a set of 85 socio-demographic profiles at
Regional Council and Territorial Authority level. Several invited presentations and media interviews
focused on these regional implications. Other work under this theme includes:

New Zealand's individuals, families and households (A socially informed New Zealand)
Research Theme Leader: Professor Steven Stillman
The ‘individuals, families and households’ theme focuses on the
underlying human dimensions of demographic-social-economic
interactions occurring in the context of low fertility and increased
longevity. Projects include how changing family and household
structures will affect the provision of the future workforce and tax
base. Papers published during 2011 include:

Te para one te tū mai nei (Māori and indigenous futures)
Research Theme Leader: Dr Tahu Kukutai
Te para one te tū mai nei is a forward-looking research
programme that addresses the opportunities and challenges
attendant with Māori demographic change. It focuses on
research that makes a positive difference for Māori.
Theme Leader Dr Tahu Kukutai spent much of 2011 working
on her Marsden-funded study of ethnic counting and
classification in censuses around the world over the past 30
years, as well as a separate study of Māori transnationalism
and diaspora. She also played a lead role in work on two
funded projects with Te Kotahi: Te Pou/Tipping Points and Provision of a Māori Plan for Tāmaki
Makaurau (see Externally Funded Research below). 2011 outputs for the theme include:

New Zealand's oceanic and global context (A globally engaged New Zealand)
Research Theme Leaders: Professor Jacques Poot and Professor John Gibson
This research theme addresses the cross-border
dimensions of demographic-social-economic
interactions, focussing on the links between New Zealand
and other populations and economies within Oceania
and beyond. Among its projects are the implications of
national level demographic differences for future
migration scenarios, and the implications of climate
change and demand for water, with particular reference
to Australia and the Pacific Islands.

NIDEA Demographic Laboratory (A demographically numerate New Zealand)
Director: Professor Natalie Jackson
The NIDEA Demographic Laboratory supports the five
research themes by providing advanced analytical and
technical support. It also acts as a provider of external
training in demography via workshops, and plays a critical
role in building capacity in the field to meet the needs of
government and a broad range of organisations and
enterprise. Indeed it is one of NIDEA’s main objectives to
revitalise undergraduate teaching in population studies
and demography, with a view to ensuring a continuing
flow of graduates in this specialist field.
Reflecting these desires, NIDEA Directorate staff in 2011 taught two undergraduate and two
postgraduate courses in demography, and supervised eight summer scholars (four at each end of the
year). Twenty-one students took the flagship Introduction to Population Studies paper (POPS201), an
increase from 12 in 2010. One visiting international Masters student was also supervised.
In Semester two, Professor Jackson was involved in a joint initiative between Statistics New Zealand
and five New Zealand Universities to offer a post-graduate program in Official Statistics, via videolink
(see http://msor.victoria.ac.nz/Courses/STOR481_2012T2/WebHome), run out of the University of
Victoria. Facing small postgraduate numbers seeking training in this specialist field within each
participating university, the collaborative effort resulted in 32 students taught nationally. The effort
was rewarded (jointly with an Ethiopian initiative) an ISI International Statistical Literacy Project
'Best Cooperative Project Award'. This Award is given once every two years in recognition of
outstanding, innovative, and influential statistical literacy projects that affect the general public
and reflect the cooperation of different types of institutions. NIDEA is currently developing policies
on future undergraduate teaching along these cross-institutional lines.
In December, a two-day workshop on Official Statistics was given by Professor Jackson in Wellington,
on behalf of Statistics New Zealand. Thirty-two public servants and policy advisors attended the wellreceived workshop entitled: Population ageing: Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to
ask.

Externally Funded Research
As members of a research centre that seeks to recover the majority of its costs from external
research, NIDEA’s staff devote most of their time to research, supervision, and seeking new project
funding. During 2011 members of NIDEA participated in a number of on-going or new FoRST-funded
research programmes and had several contracts with the Department of Labour, the Tertiary
Education Commission, and local authorities in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions for the
provision of research and policy advice.
FRST-funded programmes that supported staff and postgraduate student research in NIDEA during
2011 were:
Ageing in Place: Empowering Older People to Repair and Maintain Safe and Comfortable
Houses in their Communities (2007-12, Centre for Research Evaluation and Social
Assessment) with sub-contract for the research on older Asians with the University of
Waikato.
Integration of Immigrants Programme (IIP) (2007-12, Massey University with around half of
the programme sub-contracted to the University of Waikato). Professor Jacques Poot leads
one of the two objectives in this five-year programme, which finishes in September 2012,
with Professor Paul Spoonley (Massey, Albany) leading the other objective. Professor
Richard Bedford is assisting Paul Spoonley with the research for Objective 2. For outputs,
see http://newsettlers.massey.,ac.nz/.
Honohono ai ngā waka Māori e rere tonu ana: Linking together the ever voyaging Māori

and the factors which contribute to the retirement decision – or to a longer and healthy
work life.
Demographic Patterns and Differentials of Immigrants in New Zealand: Comparative and
International Perspective (2011) by Dr Yaghoob (Yaqub) Foroutan. This was a Contestable
Research Grant provided by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS), The University of
Waikato. This project focused on the main dimensions, determinants, and differentials
associated with demographic and socio-economic characteristics by migration status (i.e.
whether New Zealand-born or overseas-born) and ethnic backgrounds. This analysis has
provided further evidence to support the thesis that the status of immigrants is closely
associated with ‘cultural and social distance’ and that the current status of migrants in terms
of ‘cultural integration’ in the destination also needs to be investigated by their ‘experience
of socialization’ in the origin (i.e. prior to migration).
External Grants applied for
Several staff members either lead, or were a member of, a research team which applied for external
funding during the year, and in the process built valuable networks of researchers, both multidisciplinary and inter-institutional, across New Zealand and overseas. Funding bodies applied to
included: Marsden Fund (Professor Natalie Jackson, Dr Yaqub Foroutan, Professor Jacques Poot, Dr
Michael Cameron), Health Research Council (Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden). We await the
outcome of several of these.

Bill completed his doctoral research in 2011 with a thesis titled “A Spatial Econometric Analysis of
Selected Local Labour Market Outcomes in New Zealand”. Aside from this he has been heavily
involved, along with Dr Michael Cameron, in research funded by the Alcohol Advisory Council of
New Zealand (ALAC) into the effect of liquor outlet density on alcohol related harms in Manukau
City. ALAC have now granted further funding to this project so that the research can be extended to
cover the entire North Island. In addition he has been involved in number of projections
commissioned by local government on population projections and local labour market issues.

Some thoughts from the field
Kumudika Boyagoda: The year 2011 brought with it the most challenging period in my PhD work,
with the commencement of converging theory, literature and empirical data to build up my thesis on
“Heterogeneity among female-headed households in Sri Lanka: A study into vulnerability and survival
in transitional development societies”. Apart from thesis writing, class room presentations related to
my topic were for Masters students in the Gender Studies programme and also in the student/staff
seminar series of the Department of Societies and Cultures. A presentation was also given to the
FASS Post Graduate Conference on Social capital of female heads and its relationship to their coping
strategies. I also had the pleasure of taking part in the Population Association of New Zealand
Conference for the first time, and took up the challenge for the “Pop in 5” competition, awarded 2nd
place, for a five minute presentation of my research.
Sheena Moosa: 2011 was my first year at NIDEA. After six months of working on the research topic
since April 2011 and with much guidance from my supervisors (Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden
and Professor Natalie Jackson), I received confirmation of enrolment for the PhD research topic
“Wellbeing and social connectedness of older people in the small island developing state of
Maldives” in September. As I continue my journey with this research, I took the opportunity to
present my topic at the 2011 Conference of Population Association of New Zealand which was a
great experience. Apart from my study, I enjoyed the NIDEA seminars and occasional 'afternoon tea'
at NIDEA.
