Welcome from the Director
I have much pleasure in presenting the 2012 NIDEA Annual Report.
Since launching NIDEA in November 2010 the institute has been an
impressive hive of industry and achievement. 2012 began with staff
working on existing research projects, new grant applications, PBRF
entries, and preparing for three international workshops, two of which
were held at Waikato in February and April and one in Auckland in
October. Two overseas visitors from Purdue University, Indiana
(Professor Raymond Florax and Professor Brigitte Waldorf) joined us for
a three month stay—and very much enjoyed our summer! During the
year NIDEA personnel were the recipients of several distinguished
awards, among them the election of Professor Jacques Poot to the
Academia Europaea; his receipt of a Japanese International Prize of Environmental Creation award;
and—along with Massey colleagues on the Integration of Immigrants Programme (IIP), a Gold Award
for public good research, awarded by the then-Ministry of Science and Innovation. In September,
Emeritus Professor Ian Pool was honoured by the New Zealand Population Association with a
Festchrift—a special issue of the New Zealand Population Review honouring his many years of
research in the field of demography, and in the December’s New Year Honours list he was made a
Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) for Services to Demography.
Other valued achievements by NIDEA researchers and their national and international colleagues
were the gaining of major research grants by Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden, Professor Jacques
Poot, Professor Natalie Jackson, Dr Mike Cameron, and Dr Tahu Kukutai.
Alongside these accomplishments, NIDEA researchers presented 19 keynote/plenary/discussant and
other invited addresses to international audiences, and a further 23 international conference papers.
At home they presented 11 keynote addresses, 32 other invited presentations, 13 conference
papers, and 10 guest lectures. Publishing was equally energetic, with 15 refereed journal articles,
four non-refereed articles, two edited books, nine chapters in books, one book review, one paper
published in conference proceedings, 15 technical and commissioned reports, and four discussion
and working papers. Media activity was extremely high, with 88 media interviews and citations.
I’m also delighted to report that our reinvigorated teaching and supervision programme saw 29
undergraduates take NIDEA’s flagship paper ‘Introduction to Population Studies’ (POPS201), up from
21 in 2011 and 12 in 2010. Increased graduate numbers emerging from these and other teaching
activities included two new Honours students (Rachael Hutt and Maraea Mullane-Ronaki) who plan
to go on to Masters in 2013, and NIDEA’s first Masters students (Moana Rarere and Patrick Broman).
Equally notable among NIDEA’s highlights is that by the end of 2012, Directorate staff were
supported by 20 externally-funded projects, of which ten were new—including four large grants—
the remainder on-going. I sincerely congratulate and thank my NIDEA colleagues for this wonderful
testament of their research activity and dedication to getting the institute going. My sincere thanks
also to our hardworking Administrator Margaret Amies for helping us make it all happen.

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,
workshops and seminars.
Progress Report on Establishment
2012 saw NIDEA move into its final establishment stage, with attention focused on finalising the
institute’s organisational structure and mode of operation. Activities included determining an
optimal operating structure, ensuring that external funding opportunities were identified and
pursued in a timely manner, reviving research, teaching and postgraduate supervision capacity in the
field of social epidemiology occasioned by the retirement of Professor Ian Pool, reviewing NIDEA’s
research theme areas, and broadening public and international awareness of the institute.
University of Waikato Strategic Investment Funds (SIF) were awarded for these purposes, and used
in four key areas:
1. to make three appointments - an Administrator (fixed term, FTE 1.0), a Research
Manager/Developer with responsibility for communications (fixed term, FTE 0.9), and an
Adjunct Professor in social epidemiology (fixed term, FTE 0.2);
2. to fund two PhD scholarships to ensure consolidation of the institute as an internationally
recognised research institute (both scholarships held over to 2013);
3. to assist in international liaison and promotion of the institute, and
4. to complete institute development (three meetings of NIDEA Members and Associates).
Reflecting the fixed-term nature of these appointments, the year ended with the departure of two
staff: Manager/Developer, Ms Roxane Miller, and Post-Doctoral Fellow, Dr Yaqub Foroutan.
Research Officer Ms Jenine Cooper also left NIDEA at the end of 2012 to train to become a teacher.
Along with support from the 2012 SIF, success in gaining external funding (20 projects, of which ten
were new and included four large grants) resulted in NIDEA ending 2012 on budget. Notably the four
large grants materialised only at the end of 2012, foreshadowing a great start to 2013.

Major Achievements and Awards
Festschrift and CNZM for Emeritus Professor Ian Pool
On 21st September, Emeritus Professor Ian Pool was honoured
with a ‘festschrift’ issue of the New Zealand Population Review
(Vol. 37), and celebrated the occasion with colleagues, family
and friends at the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts. The
Population Association of New Zealand published the special
issue as a tribute to Ian, featuring essays and articles by
colleagues, and edited by Dr Tahu Kukutai and Professor Natalie
Jackson. Festschrifts serve as an acknowledgement of a
significant contributor to a particular field, in this case, Ian’s
contribution to population and social science research in New
Zealand and internationally, over a 50 year period.
Reflecting his sustained and esteemed contribution to the field,
Professor Pool was appointed CNZM in New Zealand’s New
Year Honours list, published Dec 31st 2012. The well-deserved
honour was awarded for ‘services to demography’.
Professor Jacques Poot receives a European Honour for Research Excellence
As acknowledgement of his longstanding research collaboration and reputation in Europe, Professor
Jacques Poot was elected a Foreign Member of the Academia Europaea in October 2012. Academia
Europaea, founded in 1988, is a European association of scholars from all disciplines, who are
recognised by their peers as experts and leaders in their own subject areas. The Academia’s current
membership is about 2,500 of whom 70 are scholars who reside outside Europe. Professor Poot is
only the second New Zealander to have been elected a member.
Jacques was born and educated in The Netherlands and migrated to New Zealand in 1979 after
having taken up a junior lectureship at Victoria University of Wellington, from which he obtained a
PhD in economics in 1984. He subsequently continued his academic career at Victoria University
until 2003, but worked as a foreign professor at the University of Tsukuba in Japan between 1994
and 1997. In 2004 he moved to the University of Waikato, where he is Professor of Population
Economics at NIDEA. He was Director of NIDEA’s predecessor, the Population Studies Centre (PSC),
between 2004 and 2007.
Jacques is an Affiliate of the Centre for Research and Analysis of
Migration (CReAM) at University College London, IZA – Institute
for the Study of Labor, Bonn, and Motu Economic and Public Policy
Research in Wellington. He is also on the editorial board of a
number of international journals, has written or edited nine books
and published more than 100 refereed journal articles and book
chapters. His research interests focus predominantly on the
interrelationships between demographic phenomena and the
economy, such as migration, fertility, labour force participation
and urban agglomeration. Throughout his career, Professor Poot
6
has maintained strong links with economists in the Netherlands, particularly with colleagues at the
Free University in Amsterdam.
Since 2009, Jacques has been co-Principal Investigator of a 2.4 million euro international
collaborative research project on Migrant Diversity and Regional Disparity in Europe (MIDI-REDIE)
leading a team of researchers from The Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, Finland and
Estonia. His international research was previously recognised in 2002 when he was made an
Honorary Fellow of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Gold Award for NIDEA public good research
NIDEA’s Integration of Immigrants Programme (IIP), which is a joint research programme with
Massey University, was given upon its completion a “Gold Award” by the Ministry of Science and
Innovation (now part the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment MBIE). IIP was funded by
MBIE between 1 July 2007 and 30 September 2012. The project had two linked objectives. Objective
1, led by NIDEA’s Professor Jacques Poot was concerned with the development of econometric
models of the integration of immigrant cohorts into the New Zealand labour market and the
economy generally. Objective 2, led by Massey’s Professor Paul Spoonley was concerned with
policy-relevant successful pathways of economic incorporation of immigrant families and
communities in a variety of formal and non-formal ethnic-related settings, including family
businesses and unpaid work.
The Gold Award recognises those MSI-funded projects that not only met their contracted
outputs/outcomes but have gone further in delivering additional benefits. IIP’s Gold Award
reflected, in particular, the advisory roles of IIP researchers in public agencies such as Statistics New
Zealand, MBIE, the Ministry of Social Development, and Auckland Council; and the co-funding and
sponsorships provided by these agencies for activities such as the 2012 NIDEA International
Workshop on Economic Impacts of Immigration and Population Diversity, and the international
Metropolis migration conference at Albany in 2012.
Professor Jacques Poot receives Japanese prize
Professor Jacques Poot was the winner of the International Prize of Environmental Creation in 2012.
This prize, which is given for sustained research excellence in regional science and related areas, is
offered by the Institute of Environmental Creation International in Sapporo, Japan. The Prize consists
of a medal and plaque. In recognition of the Prize, Professor Poot was invited to write an article for
the Institute’s International Journal of Environmental Creation. His article, “The Impact of Global
Climate Change on International Migration” will appear in the journal in 2013.
NIDEA Researchers receive major grant round funding
NIDEA is delighted to announce four successes in the 2012 major grant rounds. Details of these
programmes of study appear further below under the heading ‘Externally Funded Research’:
Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden receives MBIE funding for positive ageing research
Professors Jacques Poot and Natalie Jackson receive MBIE funding for research into the
impacts of demographic change on New Zealand’s communities
Dr Tahu Kukutai receives international funding for indigenous health research
Professor Natalie Jackson receives international funding for research on Australia’s oldest-old

NIDEA Demography graduates continue to achieve
Building demographic capability and providing meaningful research opportunities for students to
work alongside senior researchers is a key element of NIDEA’s vision, and we are delighted to
highlight this year’s newcomers and successes as evidence of the value of research-led teaching.
Omoniyi Alimi: A new postgraduate star for NIDEA is Omoniyi Alimi, a talented demography and
social studies student from Nigeria. During 2012 Omoniyi undertook a Post Graduate Diploma in
Economics and was awarded a University of Waikato Taught Postgraduate Scholarship. An
internship at the NZ Treasury in the National Infrastructure Unit through the 2012-13 summer has
further strengthened Omoniyi’s economics background. A University of Waikato Study Award will
assist Omoniyi to complete the research component of his Masters in 2013, under the supervision of
Professor Jacques Poot, working on a MBIE funded project - Nga Tangata Oho Mairangi (NTOM):
Regional Impacts of Demographic and Economic Change.
Rachael Hutt: A previous summer scholar and
BSocSc graduate, Rachael has maintained her
high level of academic achievement, completing
2012 with a BSocSc Honours in Demography and
being added to the Faculty of Arts and Social
Sciences Dean’s Register for Academic
Excellence. During 2012 Rachael also received a
Golden Key International Honour Society's AsiaPacific Service to Social Sciences Award, a
University of Waikato Taught Postgraduate Fees
Scholarship, and the Faculty of Arts and Social
Sciences Honours Award. In December, Rachael was awarded the University of Waikato Masters
Scholarship to undertake her Masters thesis in 2013. Alongside these achievements Rachael
continued to work at NIDEA as a Research Assistant, and tutor of ‘Introduction to Population Studies’
(POPS201-12A). Last but not least, Rachael’s 2011 Jacoby Prize winning paper ‘New Zealand’s sole
parents and their marital status: Updating the last decade’, will be published in the next edition of
the New Zealand Population Review.
Jackson Mason-Mackay: Also a past entrant on the Dean's Register of Academic Excellence, and
forthcoming BSocSc graduate, Jackson Mason-Mackay worked as a NIDEA Research Assistant during
the year and concluded it with the award of a 2012-13 Summer Research Scholarship to study with
Dr Tahu Kukutai. His summer project focused on contextualising trans-Tasman fly-in/fly-out (FIFO)
mobility within broader systems of circular migration. Other notable awards for Jackson in 2012
included a Golden Key Undergraduate Achievement Scholarship and a University of Waikato Taught
Postgraduate Fees Scholarship to undertake Honours in Demography in 2013.
Maraea Mullane-Ronaki: Another impressive NIDEA student and previous summer scholar, Maraea
Mullane-Ronaki, also collected a lengthy list of awards in 2012, receiving the University of Waikato
Māori postgraduate excellence award, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Honours Award, a Te
Arawa Fisheries Tertiary Award, and the Te Puke Methodist Tertiary Award. Maraea is continuing
her studies in 2013 with a University of Waikato Masters Scholarship and Marsden Fund scholarship
awarded under the Ethnicity Counts? project led by Dr Tahu Kukutai.
Moana Rarere: Yet another outstanding graduate from NIDEA is Moana Rarere. Moana recently
achieved first class honours for her Master of Social Science in Demography. For her thesis, she
examined iwi population growth patterns in the NZ census between 1991 and 2006, thereby
addressing a significant gap in demographic studies, where analyses of iwi data has been rather
8
sparse. More recently, Moana’s research has provided a very useful knowledge base for recent
NIDEA projects. Working alongside Professor Natalie Jackson, Moana contributed her evidencebased knowledge by producing experimental population projections for an iwi organisation. As a
natural progression, her research has the prospect of developing into a valuable PHD project.
Moana is currently a part-time Research Assistant for NIDEA, and is working on a couple of journal
articles based on her thesis findings. She has worked alongside Dr Tahu Kukutai in analysing data for
a number of projects relevant to Maori in NZ and abroad. Moana plans to advance her career in the
field of demography and policy analysis.
NIDEA Data Library
Thanks to the efforts of NIDEA’s Senior Research Officer, Shefali Pawar, we now have a data library
under construction, drawing together the extensive range of Census, Survey and Administrative
datasets built up by academics working in NIDEA and its predecessor the Population Studies Centre,
over many years. Once this resource has been established, the folder structure for the library will be
made available on the NIDEA website. In the interests of ongoing protection and maintenance of this
data library, the folder will be 'Read Only' - people will be able access and view the required data
files but will not be able to store or edit any files. All data requests will need to be forwarded to the
Data Manager (Shefali Pawar) who will then retrieve and forward the required data.

International and National Collaborations
Professor Richard Bedford was part of a collaborative Global Migration Futures project with the
International Migration Institute based at the University of Oxford. The project focused on using
scenarios to explore futures for migration in the Pacific region. Professor Bedford played a major
role in developing the primary background document for the
project.
Immigration was also the theme for a book co-authored by
Paul Spoonley and Richard Bedford and launched at the
Pathways to Metropolis Conference on Immigration in
October 2012. The book is titled: Welcome to Our World?
Immigration and the Reshaping of New Zealand. This book
deals with the development of increasingly diverse migratory
flows to New Zealand and a wide range of issues relating to
adaptation and settlement. New Zealand is now one of the
world’s most super-diverse societies, with all the excitement
and tensions that accompany immigration and population
shifts.
Professor Jacques Poot continued in 2012 in his role as coPrincipal Investigator of the international collaborative research project on Migrant Diversity and
Regional Disparity in Europe (MIDI-REDIE), in which he leads a team of researchers from The
Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, Finland and Estonia. The project aims to improve
understanding of the impact of cross-border population flows into, within and out of Europe on
regional socio-economic development and disparity. To conduct the MIDI-REDIE research Professor
Poot was based for three months at the Free University in
Amsterdam, but he also visited IAB Institute of
Employment Research in Nuremberg, Germany. He also
attended conferences in Bratislava/Slovakia, Beijing/China
and Tokyo/Japan to present MIDI-REDIE findings.
A book on migration issues ‘Migration Impact Assessment’
that Professor Jacques Poot co-edited with
Peter Nijkamp and Mediha Sahin was launched in 2012.
The book examines the unprecedented level of crossborder migration in the last few decades and socioeconomic consequences of this phenomenon for host
countries and for the immigrants themselves. Case studies
from Europe, North America and Asia are presented and a
range of the scientific methods that are currently available
in migration impact assessment (MIA) are outlined and
applied.

Dr Tahu Kukutai was part of a successful international
collaboration that received funding from the Swedish
Research Council and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg
Foundation, Sweden. The four-year project is entitled
“Indigenous health in transition – a longitudinal study of
colonization, state and the health of Indigenous peoples in
Sweden, Australia and New Zealand”. The Primary
Investigator is Dr Per Axelsson, Centre of Sami Research,
Umeå University. The Associate Investigators are Dr Kukutai
and Dr Rebecca Kippen, Centre for Health and Society,
University of Melbourne. Dr Kukutai has also been working
closely with Professor John Taylor and his team at the Centre
of Aboriginal Economic Policy Research at the Australia
National University. She takes up a Visiting Fellowship
appointment at CAEPR in February – March, 2013.
In 2012, Professor Natalie Jackson joined the international ‘Shrinking Regions Research Group’,
based at the University of Sheffield. The group’s research focus is the ending of population growth, a
relatively new and arguably important area of research, with Natalie’s work on New Zealand and
Australia to contribute to a growing body of studies of the phenomenon for Japan, Germany, and
Scotland. In 2013, Natalie will chair a related session on regional depopulation at the IUSSP
(International Union for the Scientific Study of Population) conference in Korea.
Professor Natalie Jackson was also member of a successful ARC (Australian Research Council) grant
to investigate the extent of heterogeneity among Australia’s oldest-old. This three-year project is
detailed below under ‘External Funding’.
Dr Yaghoob (Yaqub) Foroutan was appointed as Adjunct Research Fellow at Swinburne Institute for
Social Research, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia (2012-2015).
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 in the series were
released in late 2012.

International Workshops
Population Ageing and the Labour Market
International Research Workshop
Thursday 2 February - Friday 3 February 2012
February 2-3 2012, NIDEA hosted an international workshop on “Population Ageing and the labour
market” at the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts at Waikato University. The workshop brought
together a selected group of prominent researchers and analysts with a common interest in the
labour market implications of population ageing and had about 40 participants. The themes of the
workshop were: (a) Labour supply and retirement (b) Lifelong learning and retraining (c) Productivity
and an ageing workforce and (d) Demography and immigration. There were 10 papers presented
and a panel discussion was held in the final session. Four presentations were given by invited
international scholars: Professor Naohiro Ogawa, Nihon University; Professor Robert Hutchens,
Cornell University; Professor Graeme Hugo, University of Adelaide; and Professor Ross Guest,
Griffith University. The workshop conveners were Dr David Maré (Chair, Waikato and Motu);
Professor Jacques Poot (Waikato); and Professor Natalie Jackson (Waikato).
Economic Impacts of Immigration and Population Diversity
International Workshop
Wednesday 11 April - Friday 13 April 2012
This workshop, also hosted by the National Institute of Demographic and Economic Analysis (NIDEA)
at the University of Waikato, brought together about 60 economists, other social scientists and
policymakers to consider recent research on the economics of diversity, particularly in the context of
international migration trends and policies. Most of the European participants are involved in a
large-scale 2010-2013 research programme on migrant diversity and regional disparity in Europe
(MIDI-REDIE). The workshop provided an excellent opportunity for researchers and policymakers to
become familiar with current research in progress and to consider policy implications of the research
findings. A total of 24 paper presentations were scheduled, grouped in thematic sessions. The
workshop was organised by Professor Jacques Poot (chair), Professor Natalie Jackson, Dr David
Maré, Mrs Margaret Amies and Ms Roxanne Miller. Workshop organiser Professor Jacques Poot
said that it was exciting to discuss quite contentious and diverse migration-related issues such as the
brain drain, discrimination, entrepreneurship and wellbeing with a grouped of acknowledged
experts from New Zealand and abroad: “The emphasis of the workshop was to look at these issues
by means of pathbreaking scientific research. This can assist in policies being developed by means of
a solid evidence base rather than emotive arguments. The latter have been rather common in the
immigration debate”. On the whole, the message from the workshop was positive he says. “While
developed countries should expect continued growth in the share of foreign born in the population,
there is evidence of economic benefits in terms of innovation, entrepreneurship and the ways in
which migrants lead to a greater variety of goods
and services in cities.”

Pathways to Metropolis in the 21st Century: Immigration issues and futures
National Conference
24-26 October 2012
Migration researchers and participants from New Zealand and abroad gathered together to discuss
immigration, immigrant settlement and skills, with a particular focus on Auckland. The Pathways
conferences began in the 1990s as a way of communicating research results from publicly-funded
programmes to a range of audiences, particularly those in government departments. More recently,
Pathways has represented a partnership with the Labour and Immigration Research Centre at the
Department of Labour (DoL) and the Integration of Immigrants Programme (Massey
University/University of Waikato) (IIP).
In addition to MBIE and IIP sponsorship, the conference was also co-hosted by: Massey University’s
Auckland Knowledge Exchange Hub; Auckland Council; University of Waikato’s National Institute of
Demographic and Economic Analysis (NIDEA); and the International Metropolis Project. The event
was held in Auckland rather than Wellington for the first time. This reflects Auckland’s role as New
Zealand’s key gateway and arrival city for immigrants – both in an absolute sense but also
proportionately. The event also provided an opportunity for greater participation as conference
delegates were invited to arrange workshops and roundtable sessions. Both Professor Dick Bedford
and Dr Kukutai organized some of the workshops. The theme for Dr Kukutai’s first workshop was
“Māori & Migrants in Aotearoa NZ: Neighbours in the Hood?”. A second workshop, jointly
sponsored by the Population Association of New Zealand and NIDEA was entitled, “A Population
Policy for New Zealand: What Would it Look Like?”.
The Pathways to Metropolis in the 21st Century conference explored a range of issues concerning
global and local immigration including:
Immigration-related diversity outcomes and challenges;
Changes in the Asia-Pacific region;
Competition for skilled immigrant talent;
Contemporary developments in skilled and unskilled migration flows;
Managing immigration through policy;
Forecasting and immigration flows;
Impacts of migration flows on urban/rural societies and economies; and
Immigrant Auckland.

Migration Futures Workshop
Between September and December 2012, the International Migration Institute (IMI) and NIDEA
collaborated on a project to examine future migration in the Pacific region by employing a scenario
methodology developed by the Global Migration Futures project at IMI.
Through this initiative, IMI and the University of Waikato sought to promote discussions among
migration experts and stakeholders about longer-term developments in the region. The GMF team
completed background research on past, present, and potential future migration drivers and
patterns in the Pacific.
The primary background document for the project is Professor Richard Bedford and Graeme Hugo’s
2012 report entitled ‘Population Movement in the Pacific: A perspective on future prospects’. In
addition to reviewing the academic and policy literature, the team also analysed the available data
on socio-economic and demographic drivers of migration in the region, to identify preliminary
relative certainties and possible assumptions about the future in advance of working with the
project’s Pacific migration experts and stakeholders. The report was developed from a workshop
linked with the above Pathways Conference on future scenarios for the Pacific. NIDEA organised
this workshop in association with the University of Oxford's International Migration Institute. The
IMI regards this workshop as the most successful of all of the ones they have organised in their
Global Migration Futures series.
Professional Advisory Roles
Professor Dick Bedford stepped down from his role on the Ministerial Advisory Committee on
Official Statistics (ACOS), but continued with his other advisory roles: convenor of the social sciences
panel MBIE investment, convenor of the Social Sciences Fellowship Panel – Royal Society of New
Zealand, as well as remaining a member of the James Cook selection
panel, the Royal Society of New Zealand, the International Steering
Committee and the International Metropolis Project.
Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden CNZM continued to chair the
Waikato AgeWISE advisory committee to the Waikato District Health
Board. She is a member of the Hamilton City Council of Elders and also
a member of the National Executive of the New Zealand Gerontology
Association, and President of the Waikato Branch.
Professor Natalie Jackson was appointed
to the Ministerial Advisory Committee on
Official Statistics (ACOS), replacing
Professor Bedford, who held the position for six years. Professor
Jackson will join the committee for an initial term of three years.
Natalie is delighted to play a role in ensuring New Zealand’s official
statistics remain an important and visible item on the Government
agenda.

In 2012 Dr Tahu Kukutai served on both the Science Assessing Committee of the Health Research
Council of New Zealand, and the Expert Advisory Group (Social) for the Performance-Based Research
Fund. Dr Kukutai was also invited to join Taki Ao, a select group of early-mid career science leaders
sponsored by the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment and was reappointed (2 year term)
to the Maori Statistics Advisory Committee to the Government Statistician.
Professor Jacques Poot acted as a reviewer of two large grant applications for the European
Research Council. He also advised the New Zealand Productivity Commission in the preparation of
the 2012 report Strengthening trans-Tasman economic relations, gave a presentation and
participated in a video discussion with staff of the Australian Productivity Commission in Wellington
on 28 September.
During 2012, Professor Jacques Poot continued in his roles as External Faculty Member of the
Graduate School at Purdue University; Research Fellow at IZA – Institute for the Study of Labor,
Bonn; External Research Fellow at the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM),
University College London; and Affiliate at Motu Economic and Public Policy Research Trust. He was
also member of the program committee for the international conference, “Increasing heterogeneity
in the workforce and its impact”, held at the Institute for Employment research IAB, Nuremberg,
December 6-7, 2012. He also chaired and summarised the session “Migrant entrepreneurship: An
overview of the barriers, catalysts and the potential for economic growth” at the Pathways to
Metropolis in the 21st Century: Immigration Issues and Futures, Massey University, Albany Campus,
October 24-26.
Editorial Roles
Professor Richard Bedford continued with editorial board positions
on Asia Pacific Viewpoint, Geographical Research, Population, Place
and Society, Journal of Population Research and is one of three
Advisory Editors for the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden reviewed an article for Ageing
and Society on the topic of “The role of musical possible selves in
supporting subjective well-being in later life”.
Dr Yaghoob (Yaqub) Foroutan served as referee in 2012 for a
large number of international peer-reviewed journals including
Journal of Population Research, Journal of Sociology, Ethnic and
Racial Studies, International Migration, Review of Religious
Research, International Migration Review, Sociological Inquiry

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 2012, research under this theme continued to focus on
developing and communicating to a board range of
audiences, an overview of the demographic forces shaping
the nation’s future. The work included 25 invited presentations to government and business
organisations, the development of comprehensive socio-demographic profiles covering the period
1986-2031 for the Auckland, Wellington, Hawke’s Bay, and Marlborough-Nelson-Tasman Regional
Councils (these are detailed further below under ‘Technical and Commissioned Reports’), and
responding to over 50 media interviews. A selection of research output under this theme gives an

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
unfolding uniformly 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—some
of which has been detailed under the New Zealand 2050 Theme.

Te para one te tū mai nei (Māori and indigenous futures)
Research Theme Leader: Dr Tahu Kukutai
Te para one te tū mai nei: Māori and Indigenous Futures is a
forward-looking research programme that addresses the
opportunities and challenges attendant with Māori
demographic change.
During 2012 theme Leader Dr Tahu Kukutai worked on a wide
range of projects including an ongoing study of the global
Māori diaspora, with a particular focus on Māori in Australia;
as well as joint projects with Te Kotahi Research Institute,
also at the University of Waikato. The latter work included
the groundbreaking Māori Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau, commissioned by the Independent Māori
Statutory Board (see, http://www.imsb.maori.nz/English/The+M257ori+Plan.html) and a project
entitled Tipping Points: The relationship between Māori youth workforce participation and mental
health (with NIDEA researcher Shefali Pawar). Dr Kukutai also continued to work on her Marsdenfunded project, Ethnicity Counts?, which looks at how governments around the world count and
classify their populations by ethnicity. Several students provided research assistance to Dr Kukutai
including Moana Rarere, Maraea Mullane-Ronaki, and Trent Hohaia.

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. Activities under this
theme include the NIDEA April workshop on the Economic Impacts of immigration and Population
Diversity and the Pathways to Metropolis conference in October. Details can be found elsewhere in
this report. Programme output for 2012 includes:

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. One of NIDEA’s main objectives is to
revitalise undergraduate teaching in population studies
and demography, with a view to ensuring a continuing
flow of graduates in this specialist field. The Demographic
Laboratory also acts as a provider of external training in
demography via seminars and workshops, and plays a
critical role in building capacity in the field to meet the
future needs of government and a broad range of
organisations and enterprise.
Reflecting these objectives, 2012 saw 29 undergraduate students enrolled in the flagship course
Introduction to Population Studies (POPS201), up from 21 in 2011 and 12 in 2010. A further seven
undergraduate students enrolled in directed studies and special topic papers, while four graduate
students enrolled in Population Health and Planning (POPS508) in its first offering for many years. In
Semester two, Professor Jackson continued her involvement 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. Three Waikato honours students enrolled in the course. These early
successes for NIDEA were warmly welcomed in a review of the Population Studies Major undertaken
in May, which found that enrolments in the major had been low in the three years leading up to
NIDEA’s launch, primarily due to low staff numbers in the pre-existing PSC.
NIDEA staff additionally welcomed two new Honours students, two Masters students, and one
international PhD candidate. Twelve existing PhD students and six summer scholars (four across the
2011-2012 summer and two across 2012-2013 summer) were supervised, and ten Guest Lectures
given to students of the University of Waikato and four other universities.
22
Externally Funded Research
NIDEA’s staff devote the majority of their time to research and seeking new project funding. During
2012 NIDEA researchers participated in a number of on-going or new HRC and MSI (MBIE) funded
programmes as well as large contracts with Midland Health Network, Te Kotahi Research Institute,
and the United Nations Population Fund, among others. Major funded programmes are:
Indigenous Health in Transition: A Longitudinal Study of Colonization, State and the Health
of Indigenous Peoples in Sweden, Australia and New Zealand (2012-2016). At the end of
2012 Dr Tahu Kukutai learned she was part of a successful international collaboration that
received funding from the Swedish Research Council and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg
Foundation, Sweden. The Primary Investigator is Dr Per Axelsson, Centre of Sami Research,
Umeå University. The Associate Investigators are Dr Kukutai and Dr Rebecca Kippen, Centre
for Health and Society, University of Melbourne.
Nga Tangata Oho Mairangi (NTOM): Regional Impacts of Demographic and Economic
Change (2012-2014) – During 2012, NIDEA applied for, and received, jointly with Massey
University a large research grant from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
(MBIE). The research theme is: Nga Tangata Oho Mairangi (NTOM): Regional Impacts of
Demographic and Economic Change. The funding is for the period 1 October 2012 – 30
September 2014. Co-funding has been obtained from the Migration Research, Strategy &
Governance Group at MBIE.
The project has six components: (1)
Development of a demographic-economic
stock-flow sub-national accounting system
for New Zealand (DEAS) (2) Interviews with
90 households across five selected regions
(Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Westland and Southland) with data analysis by means
of the Q methodology (Q sorts) (3) Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) of 160220 employers from within the five regions (Employer surveys) (4) Development of a multiregional demographic-economic interaction model (MRIM) (5) Conducting qualitative
research by means of focus groups in schools (Focus groups) and (6) Development of a
multi-regional demographic-economic projection system (MDEPS). NIDEA is responsible for
delivering DEAS, MRIM and MDEPS. Massey University is responsible for delivering Q sorts,
employer surveys and focus groups. The NIDEA research leaders of DEAS, MRIM and MDEPS
are respectively Professor Natalie Jackson, Dr David Maré and Dr Michael Cameron. The
overall manager of the Waikato components, with contributions to DEAS, MRIM and MDEPS
is Professor Jacques Poot.
Making Active Ageing a Reality: Maximising Participation and Contribution by Older
People (October 2012-September 2014) – A major two-year research project, led by
Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden, was funded $687,000 in the Ministry of Business,
Innovation & Employment 2012 research funding round. The project aims to provide policy
makers with advice on ways of supporting greater independence and meaningful life for
older people living alone; encouraging their further independence by contributing further to
the paid workforce; and increasing their connectedness through the use of digital
technology. The Making Active Ageing a Reality project will involve three other researchers -
23
Drs Michael Cameron and Margaret Richardson from the Waikato Management School, and
Dr Judith Davey, Wellington.
Revisiting the ‘Fourth Age’: Health, Socioeconomic and Cultural Transformation of and
Diversity in Australia’s Oldest Old Population, 1981-2011
(2012-2014) - This project funded by the Australian Research
Council will create pseudo-biographies of different cohorts of
the oldest old over the thirty-year period 1981-2011, to
investigate the extent of heterogeneity in terms of growing
cultural diversity, whether newer cohorts are ‘better-off’
than previous cohorts, and, on the new evidence-base,
whether the Fourth Age needs reconceptualising to facilitate better policy-making. Professor
Natalie Jackson is a Partner Investigator with Chief Investigators Professor Laurie Brown and
Dr Binod Nepal (both University of Canberra), and Dr Helen Bartlett (Monash University).
Ethnicity Counts (2011-2013) Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Fund. Led by Dr Tahu
Kukutai, the Ethnicity Counts? (eCounts?) project investigates how governments around the
world count and classify their populations by ethnicity. Ethnic counting is a hot topic in many
countries, attested to by ongoing debates in the media, politics, international forums, and
academic publications. The main goal of eCounts? is to provide a solid understanding of how
countries around the world engage in ethnic counting; how such practices have changed
over time; and the key factors associated with change. In 2012 Dr Kukutai and Associate
Investigator Dr Victor Thompson (Rider University, USA) gave presentations on the eCounts?
project at conferences in New Zealand and Europe, and will
present their latest findings at the IUSSP conference in Korea in
August, 2013. The Marsden-funded project (2011-2014)
provides support for two Masters students, Patrick Broman and
Maraea Mullane-Ronaki, whose theses respectively examine
ethnic counting in Oceania, and the enumeration of indigenous
identities globally. The main tool of eCounts? is a time-series
database that combines census ethnicity questions over the
past 30 years with economic, social and political data for more
than 200 countries. Census data are coded across a wide range
of variables including birthplace, citizenship, nationality,
migration status, ethnicity, race, origins, language, mother
tongue and indigenous status. The eCounts? website
(http://www.waikato.ac.nz/nidea/research/ethnicitycounts)
also contains a massive repository of electronic census questionnaires from around the
world, dating back to the 1960s.

Engaging Senior Stakeholders: Positive Ageing at the Elder-Organisation Interface (2009 –
2012, Management School). Prof Koopman-Boyden and Dr Michael Cameron are members
of the multi-disciplinary team. This project was funded by FRST and was successfully
completed at the end of September 2012.
24
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
led one of the two objectives in this five-year
programme, which finished in September
2012, with Professor Paul Spoonley (Massey,
Albany) leading the other objective. Professor
Richard Bedford assisted Paul Spoonley with
the research for Objective 2. For outputs, see

Fly-in, fly-out work migration to Australia (2012) Professor Tahu Kukutai was awarded a
Contestable Research Grant provided by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS), The
University of Waikato.
Maintaining older people’s independence (2012-2013) Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden
was awarded a Waikato Summer Research Studentship.
Partially supported by NIDEA’s 2012 SIF funding for internationalisation activities, Professor
Jacques Poot visited Japan in October 2012 to meet with Japanese colleagues and discuss
research of common interest that is particularly relevant for NIDEA’s Integration of
Immigrants research and the Nga Tangata Oho Mairangi (NTOM) research on sub-national
population changes and their economic impacts. The discussions with Japanese population
economists took place at Rissho University in Tokyo, October 6-8, during the Japanese
regional science conference. Jacques presented in this context three papers: on
agglomeration and the growth of global cities; on internationalisation of education and its
impact on international migration flows; and on social capital formation by New Zealand
immigrants. The feedback received has been helpful for preparing these papers for
publication, one of which has now been published in a Japanese journal.
Also visiting Japan in 2012 with partial travel assistance from NIDEA’s 2012 SIF funding for
internationalisation activities was Emeritus Professor Ian Pool, NIDEA’s Research Advisory
Coordinator, who gave two seminars. On 17th December he visited the Institute of
Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University, one of Japan’s leading economic research
centres. There he presented an invited seminar on different patterns of population ageing
(numerical vs structural; phasic vs cohort flows) and their implications for policy and markets
in Far East Asian and Western Developed Countries. On 20th December he visited Nihon
University Population Research Institute, Japan’s leading demographic research institute, for
a meeting with Professor Naohiro Ogawa on the subject of National Transfer Accounts
(NTA’s). Ian returned to New Zealand convinced that NTAs have major potential for
evaluating social policy, and is keen to have NIDEA colleagues revisit this important research
area which previously saw some baseline work by Professor Jacques Poot.
26
Major Grant Proposals – Current Status

Visitors
From early February until late April 2012, NIDEA hosted two distinguished professors from the
Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University:
Professor Raymond Florax is an expert in econometric techniques, specifically spatial econometrics
and meta-analysis in economics. He presented in the NIDEA seminar series a seminar on
“Agriculture, transportation and the timing of urbanization: Global analysis at the grid cell level”.
This paper addressed the timing of the historical transition from rural to urban activity for any given
location on earth. He also collaborated with Professor Jacques Poot on a joint paper that reviews
and assesses the practice of meta-analysis in the economics profession.
The second visitor from Purdue University, Professor Brigitte Waldorf, is a demographer who
specializes in the modelling of migration processes. She presented a paper “Overskilling of
Immigrants in the USA” at the NIDEA international workshop on economics impacts of immigration
and diversity. She also collaborated with Professor Poot on a study of the dynamics of return
migration and the size of the diaspora population.
In October 2012, Professor Graham Clarke, who is Professor of Business Geography at the University
of Leeds in the United Kingdom, visited NIDEA and gave a presentation in the NIDEA seminar series
on the potential of microsimulation in geography and regional science. The seminar reviewed
progress to date in spatial microsimulation modelling and illustrated this by means of examples
relating to population analysis, spatial economics, impact assessment, social policy, health and
retailing. Professor Clark was invited by Professor Jacques Poot. Both have extensive involvement in
the activities of the Regional Science Association International.
Girol Karacaoglu, Deputy Secretary, Macroeconomics and Research, The Treasury, visited NIDEA on
the 12th September. Girol visited NIDEA to further four objectives: (1) build a database of economic
research capability; (2) create a network across all people and institutions in NZ undertaking
economics; (3) to promote Treasury’s Living Standards Framework and (4) to promoting Treasury as
an exciting place to work for young people in terms of making a contribution towards improving the
living standards of New Zealanders. Dr Karacaoglu made a formal presentation and met with
interested staff and students.
