Annual Report 2013
NIDEA staff and members gratefully acknowledge the fantastic and patient assistance of Rachael
McMillan, NIDEA Research Officer, in collating and preparing this report.
NIDEA’s Mission Statement:
NIDEA undertakes research at the interface of population and economics to help inform choices and
responses to the demographic, social and economic interactions that are shaping New Zealand's
future.
NIDEA seeks to address the population-economy interface by:
modelling the effects of demographic and economic change at global, regional and national
scales on long-term social transformation, competitiveness and productivity;
conceptualizing, measuring and evaluating options for enhanced wealth creation and
general wellbeing in an increasingly diverse, ageing society;
researching migration and the transnational dimensions of New Zealand’s population and
economy in Oceania;
enhancing understanding of the patterns, causes and consequences of regional social,
economic, and ethnic diversity and disparity within New Zealand.
Underpinning these research programmes are three founding principles that permeate all aspects of
NIDEA’s activities:
to produce innovative and consequential knowledge at the nexus of population and
economy;
to provide a bridge between new knowledge and its practical application in policy and
business environments;
to build research capacities in the areas of demography and economics that will secure the
reproduction of research excellence in critical areas of social inquiry.

Welcome from the Director
It is my great pleasure to present NIDEA’s 2013 Annual Report. The Report is a
glowing testimonial to the small team that comprise NIDEA, and the large
vision for a demographically-informed future that inspires our work.
It has been a great year for the demographically-inclined, with the longawaited census in March, and the eagerly anticipated census output that
began arriving in December. We fielded a steady range of inquiries from
organisations and government agencies keen to learn about their respective
populations, and in the process enjoyed making many new connections and
expanding our list of end-users and potential stakeholders.
Among a long list of achievements for the year documented herein, I’m delighted to highlight that
four NIDEA academics currently lead or are co-leaders of two Marsden projects, two Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) projects, and two international projects: Indigenous
Health in Transition with Universities of Umea (Sweden) and the ANU, and Migrant Diversity and
Regional Disparity in Europe (MIDI-REDIE). NIDEA is also on the team of one Australian Research
Council (ARC) project with ANU and Monash.
Another highlight of the year was that the team’s research output continued to grow. This report
records: 20 refereed articles or book chapters, 15 technical/commissioned reports, 6 discussion
papers, 4 other published items (book reviews/conference proceedings), 40 international and 32
national keynote or other invited presentations, addresses and plenary papers, and a further 22
national conference and seminar presentations. Collectively, NIDEA members also gave 74 media
interviews during the year, in the process playing a highly visible role in raising the level of debate
about population issues, not least in relation to the delayed census.
This level of research output would not have been achieved if it were not for the organic nature of
the teamwork at NIDEA, with everyone contributing to the Institute’s vision in fundamentally
important ways. This level of commitment and energy was centrally acknowledged in the [Howard]
Fancy Review of the Institute undertaken for strategic planning purposes during the year. It is also
reflected in esteemed awards received by three NIDEA academics: Companion of the New Zealand
Order of Merit (CNZM) for Emeritus Professor Ian Pool; 2013 Economist of the Year NZIER Award to
Professor Jacques Poot, and the inaugural Waikato Early Career Researcher award to Dr Tahu
Kukutai.
I congratulate my NIDEA colleagues and thank them warmly for making this such a successful year. I
conclude by noting that this will be my last Annual Report. At the time of writing—March—the
directorship of NIDEA has been passed to new hands, namely those of the Dean of FASS Professor
Robert Hannah, who will hold the role of Acting Director until a replacement is appointed. The move
reflects my desire to spend more time on research, in particular the Marsden project I was fortunate
to have funded during 2013 and now lead, but also to ensure that succession planning in the light of
forthcoming retirements maintains the momentum NIDEA has built over the past four years.

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.
The Year in Perspective
Three years since the launch of NIDEA—and four since its foundation staff were appointed—the year
2013 was primarily marked by three milestones: the gaining of a significant number of externally
funded research projects, commissions and consultancies—detailed throughout the Report; the
expansion of NIDEA staff to support these achievements; and the Fancy Review of NIDEA’s structure
and modus operandi.
In March, Post-Doctoral Fellow Dr Yaqub Foroutan returned to the University of Mazandaran in his
homeland of Iran, whilst in July and August four new staff members joined the team. From left to
right, Research Officers Rachael McMillan and Moana Rarere; Research Development Manager Dr
Veronique Gibbons, and Research Fellow Dr Mervyl McPherson.

In November we celebrated NIDEA’s 3rd BIRTHDAY with special guest Professor Leo van Wissen of
the Netherlands. In attendance were the Vice Chancellor Professor Roy Crawford, the Dean of FASS
Professor Robert Hannah, Emeritus Professor Ian Pool, many other Deans, Professors, colleagues
and valued friends of NIDEA.
From left to right: Professor Jacques Poot, Professor Leo van Wissen, Professor Natalie Jackson and Vice Chancellor
Professor Roy Crawford
In December, Administrator
Margaret Amies retired after a long
career supporting academia. We had
a rousing send off with Research
Assistant Greg Hill playing Auld
Lange Syne on the bagpipes
(Margaret is standing far right). We
thank Margaret for her tremendous
support of NIDEA and we wish her a
fabulous retirement.
The year 2013 was Professor Richard (Dick) Bedford’s last year with
the University of Waikato after 25 years of service and a very
successful career in Migration Geography. Retiring on January 3rd
2014, recognition of Dick’s retirement will be presented in the 2014
Annual Report.
Also a topic for the 2014 Report will be the stepping down in March
2014 of NIDEA’s Foundation Director, Professor Natalie Jackson.
Natalie’s request in early 2013 to relinquish the role in favour of
spending more time on research, and to assist NIDEA maintain its
momentum in the face of forthcoming retirements, was accepted by
the DVC and followed in June by a glowing Review of the Institute—
to be reported on in 2014.

Major Achievements and Awards
Professor Jacques Poot receives the NZIER Economics Award
Professor Jacques Poot received the 2013 NZIER Economics
Award. This is New Zealand’s leading prize in economics awarded
to an economist for sustained research excellence in work that
makes a significant contribution to informing public policy in New
Zealand. Informally, it is referred to as the NZ Economist of the
Year Award. NZIER chairman Michael Walls said that "Professor
Poot's work has attracted worldwide interest, and he is one of the
most cited economists internationally in his field. His
contributions over the years have given researchers and policymakers much-needed insights into the causes and effects of
population change." The NIDEA team extend
congratulations on such a well-deserved
achievement.
In September Professor Poot was installed as a
member of the Academia Europaea in the Aula
Leopoldina in Wroclaw, Poland. The following
day he gave a plenary address at the 25th
Anniversary Conference of the Academia
Europaea. For information about the Academia
Europaea, see http://www.acadeuro.org/.
Dr Tahu Kukutai wins an inaugural University of Waikato research excellence award
Dr Tahu Kukutai was awarded the inaugural University of Waikato
Early Career Award for her research in the field of Māori and
indigenous demography. Tahu works on several international
collaborations with colleagues at the Centre for Sami Research,
Umeå University; the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy
Research, The Australia National University and Melbourne
School of Population and Global Health at the University of
Melbourne. In addition to her work in Māori and indigenous
demography Tahu is gaining international recognition for her
research in the field of ethnic enumeration. She currently leads a
Marsden project (Ethnicity Counts?) investigating how
governments around the world have classified and counted their
populations by ethnicity over the past 30 years. Since joining the
University of Waikato in 2010 Tahu has been awarded 11
externally funded grants - a significant achievement.

CNZM for Emeritus Professor Ian Pool
Reflecting his sustained and esteemed contribution to the field of
demography, Emeritus Professor Ian Pool was appointed
Companion of the NZ Order of Merit (CNZM) in New Zealand’s
New Year Honours list for 2013 for ‘services to demography’. We
warmly congratulate Ian on this richly deserved honour.
Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden helps establish the Institute of Healthy Ageing
Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden has been a member of the
establishment committee of the Institute of Healthy Ageing, a joint
collaboration between Waikato District Health Board (DHB) and the
universities of Auckland and Waikato that will provide a research
framework to promote and support healthy ageing in the Waikato.
The work of the institute will cover five themes with each theme
having a clinical and academic leader. They are:
1. Rehabilitation
2. Mental health and older people
3. Older people in the community (lead by Peggy KoopmanBoyden and Matthew Parsons, Auckland/WDHB)
4. Workforce development
5. Best practice in clinical care
The Institute of Healthy Ageing was launched on November 7, 2013
by Professor Sir Peter Gluckman senior adviser to the Prime Minister. Professor Koopman-Boyden is
now a member of the Governance Board, and plans to undertake research pertaining to older
people in the community under the rubric of the Institute, with Auckland University and the Waikato
District Health Board.
Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden was also appointed as an honorary member of the Golden Key
International Honour Society May 2013 and gave a keynote address at the Golden Key New Member
Reception at the University of Waikato, on the “Risks of Ageing”.

Externally Funded Research
NIDEA’s staff devote the majority of their time to research. During 2013 NIDEA researchers
participated in a number of new grant applications, and on-going or new HRC, MSI (MBIE), and
Marsden funded programmes as well as several commissioned reports and consultancies. Major
funded programmes are:
NEW: The Sub-National Mechanisms of the Ending of Population Growth. Towards a
Theory of Depopulation – Tai Timu Tangata - Taihoa e? (2013-2016). Professor Natalie
Jackson is the principal investigator of this Royal Society Marsden-funded project, which will
investigate the demographic and mobility transition correlates of the ending of population
growth (present and projected) across New Zealand’s Territorial Local Authority areas. The
findings are expected to contribute to a theory of depopulation, a situation widespread
across much of the developed world as population ageing drives the end of natural increase,
but just beginning in New Zealand. The research team consists of Professor Jackson
(demographer), Dr Bill Cochrane (regional labour market economist), Dr Michael Cameron
(population economist), Dr Lars Brabyn (geographer and GIS expert), Dr Dave Maré (labour
market and urban economist and applied econometrician, Motu), and Emeritus Professor
Ian Pool (demographer).
NEW: Indigenous Health in Transition: A Longitudinal Study of Colonization, State and the
Health of Indigenous Peoples in Sweden, Australia and New Zealand (2013-2017). Dr Tahu
Kukutai is part of an 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.
The project will compare the experiences of indigenous people in Australia, New Zealand
and Sweden, from 1850 to 2000 by tracing the historical development of indigenous health
through analysing missionaries' records, government reports and new databases on
population, births and deaths. The results of the research team will bring a new
understanding to the international debates on the linkages between colonization,
indigeneity and health and wellbeing and contribute substantive knowledge about the
particular ways in which these relations played out in three distinct sites.
Nga Tangata Oho Mairangi (NTOM): Regional Impacts of Demographic and Economic
Change (2012-2014). This Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) funded
project is being jointly undertaken with colleagues from Massey University. The research is
led by Professor Paul Spoonley (Science
Leader) and Professor Jacques Poot
(Waikato Leader). Co-funding was
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
Page 8 of 50
Telephone Interviews (CATI) of 160- 220 employers from within the five regions (Employer
surveys) (4) Development of a multi-regional 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, with contributions to DEAS, MRIM and MDEPS by Professor
Jacques Poot, overall Leader of the Waikato components.
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
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 involves three other researchers - 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 thirtyyear 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 Ethnicity Counts (2011-2014) 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 in the
national population census. The project spans the period 1985-2015 and includes an online
repository of census forms for more than 200 countries
(http://www.waikato.ac.nz/nidea/research/ethnicitycounts/census-forms). The Marsden
Fund has provided support for two Masters students, Patrick Broman and Maraea MullaneRonaki, to undertake dissertations on ethnic counting in Oceania and the enumeration of
indigenous peoples globally. Patrick and Maraea both presented on their dissertations at
The Australian Sociological Association conference in Melbourne in December and Patrick
also gave a co-authored paper with Dr Kukutai at the Sociological Association of Aotearoa
Page 9 of 50
New Zealand conference. Dr Kukutai and Dr Thompson presented the latest findings from
the eCounts? project at the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population
conference in Korea in August as well as a paper with NIDEA Research Officer Rachael
McMillan at the Population Association of New Zealand conference. As a result of their work
on eCounts? Dr Kukutai and Dr Thompson were invited to author chapters for the
International Encyclopedia of the Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Encyclopedia of
Race and Ethnicity and to work collaboratively with Statistics Canada and the National
Statistical Institute of Niger.
In Pursuit of the Possible: Indigenous Wellbeing – A study of Indigenous Hope, Meaning
and Transformation - phase 1 (2012-2014) Dr Tahu Kukutai has been contracted to lead an
analysis of well-being and indigenous development literature that will assist the project
team to generate an indigenous model of well-being.

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. The final report was released
in January 2013 http://www.imi.ox.ac.uk/pdfs/research-projectspdfs/gmf-pdfs/global-migration-futures-pacific-region-final-report
International migration and climate change in the Pacific was also a
focus of collaborative work for Professor Bedford during 2013. He
and Bruce Burson, a lawyer specialising in immigration and refugee
law and policy, completed a major report for the Nansen Initiative
on Cross-Border Disaster-Induced Displacement (Geneva) entitled
Clusters and Hubs: Towards a Regional Architecture for Voluntary
Adaptive Migration in the Pacific (see publications below).
In 2013, Professor Natalie Jackson chaired the session on
regional depopulation at the IUSSP (International Union
for the Scientific Study of Population) conference in
Korea. At the conference Natalie had the opportunity to
meet with colleague Dr Peter Matanle from the University
of Sheffield’s ‘Shrinking Regions Research Group’. 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 contributing to a growing body of studies of the
phenomenon for Japan, Germany, and Scotland.
Dr Tahu Kukutai began work on an international collaboration that received funding from the
Swedish Research Council and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden. The five-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” (PI, Dr Per Axelsson, Umeå
University). Dr Kukutai also took up a six week Visiting Fellow appointment at the Centre for
Aboriginal Economic Policy Research (CAEPR) at the Australia National University in February. While
there Dr Kukutai gave presentations at CAEPR and the Australian Bureau of Statistics and continued
her research on the socio-economic conditions of Māori living in Australia. Dr Kukutai returned to
CAEPR in July to give a series of lectures on Māori population and development as part of ANU’s
Global Summer Programme which attracts students from top universities around the world. Since
then CAEPR Research Officer and PhD candidate Mandy Yap has received a prestigious Australian
Government Endeavour Fellowship to work alongside Dr Kukutai at NIDEA for six months on the
development of statistical indicators of indigenous wellbeing. Dr Kukutai also continued her work on
the Marsden-funded project “Ethnicity Counts?”, with Dr Victor Thompson at Rider University in the
United States. At a national level Dr Kukutai began a new collaboration with Te Kotahi Research
Institute, working on Professor Linda Smith’s project “In pursuit of the possible”, funded by Ngā Pae
o Te Maramatanga.

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 and a second in 2013, with others currently in the pipeline.
2013 was Professor Jacques Poot’s final year in his role as co-Principal 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 crossborder population flows into, within and out of Europe on regional socio-economic development
and disparity. To conduct the MIDI-REDIE research Professor Poot spent several months at the Free
University in Amsterdam, but he also visited the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration
(CReAM) at University College London (where he is also an External Fellow). He attended
conferences in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Indonesia, Italy, Germany, Poland and
Lithuania to present MIDI-REDIE findings.
Professor Poot was co-chair of the Organising Committee of the International Workshop “E Pluribus
Prosperitas: The Economics of Cultural Diversity”, held at VU University Amsterdam, April 15-17. This
workshop has provided the impetus for a new book on The Economics of Cultural Diversity, to be
published by Edward Elgar in 2015. Besides contributing two chapters, Professor Poot is one of the
three editors of this book.

Pathways, Circuits and Crossroads 2013 Conference
Mobile Populations: Impacts and Issues of Immigration and Linked Population Changes
21-22 October 2013
This year’s conference focused on the internal mobility of the New Zealand population and the
consequences for urban and rural communities, such as rapid economic expansion in some regions
while others experience natural decline. 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. This year’s conference was organised by Massey
University in conjunction with the University of Waikato’s Nga Tangata Oho Mairangi (NTOM)
research programme in collaboration with the Strategy and Governance Group (Migrant research) of
the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

The Pathways, Circuits and Crossroads Conference explored a range of issues concerning local
immigration including:
The regional impacts of migration
The role of international students
Issues of migration policy
Impacts and outcomes of temporary migration
Creating community in a rapidly changing environment
New research methods for understanding and increasingly mobile population
NIDEA staff contributed heavily to the programme with Professor Natalie Jackson, Professor Richard
Bedford and Professor Jacques Poot chairing sessions, in addition to presenting papers. NIDEA
associates Bill Cochrane, Michael Cameron and Dave Mare also presented papers while NIDEA
Senior Research Officer Shefali Pawar presented a paper in conjunction with Professor Natalie

NIDEA’s Research Programme - 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 investigates 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 effects of age structural transitions on a broad range of issues, such as labour supply
and demand, future welfare demand and provision, and the ending of population growth.
Research output under this theme for 2013 includes:

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 subnational dimensions of demographic, social and economic
transformation, the dynamics and implications of which are unfolding
disparately 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. A significant output under this
theme is the development of a series of Demographic Profiles (that for
Bay of Plenty and its TAs pictured), of which twelve have now been
completed. These profiles, most commissioned by local government
councils, are in great demand.
Research output under this theme for 2013 includes:

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 addresses the
opportunities and challenges attendant with Māori demographic change. It is
a forward looking programme that leverages knowledge and expertise from
Aotearoa and overseas to produce high-quality research that is both
theoretically interesting and has the potential to make a practical difference in
peoples’ lives. Capability building is a key priority, both with respect to
students and the communities and organisations that we work with. During
2013 theme Leader Dr Tahu Kukutai continued to work on a wide range of
projects including the development of statistical indicators of Māori wellbeing,
census profiles of Māori living in Australia, and the dynamics of iwi population
growth. Selected outputs are:

NIDEA Demographic Laboratory (A demographically literate New Zealand)
Director: Professor Natalie Jackson
Photo: Rachael McMillan
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, 2013 saw 21 undergraduate students enrolled in the flagship course
Introduction to Population Studies (POPS201). A further five undergraduate students enrolled in
directed studies and special topic papers, while eight graduate students undertook 500-level papers,
(four Honours and Masters level papers; one Dissertation and three Masters theses). In B Semester,
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), hosted by the University of
Victoria. Four Waikato honours students from the Applied Statistics Unit enrolled in the course.
2013 saw NIDEA additionally welcome two new PhD candidates. Twelve existing PhD students and
three summer scholars (one 2012-2013 and two 2013-2014) were supervised. Several Guest
Lectures were given to students at the University of Waikato and other universities.
An informative article in the public domain by Research Associate Dr Brian Easton, ‘Counting on your
co-operation: The confidential details you provide in next month’s census forms will prove
valuable’. Listener (March 2), also contributed to the Institute’s capacity building activities.
NIDEA Data Library: Thanks to the ongoing efforts of NIDEA’s Senior Research Officer and Data
Analyst, Shefali Pawar, we now have an extensive data library which draws together many years of
Census, Survey, and Administrative datasets built up by academics working in NIDEA and its
predecessor the Population Studies Centre. Once this resource is complete, 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. Data requests can be forwarded
to Shefali who will then retrieve and forward the required data.

NIDEA Demography graduates continue to achieve
NIDEA is committed to capacity building
through teaching, supervision, and
providing meaningful research
opportunities for students to work
alongside senior researchers. NIDEA is
now employing its first graduates and
postgraduates. Seen here hard at work
on Open Day convincing prospective
students to study demography and to
possibly join the NIDEA team are
graduate students Renee Dixon and
Rachael Hutt. Their cupcakes were well
received and resulted in a flow of
course enquiries.

Student achievements for 2013:
Keen demography graduate Jackson Mason-Mackay was awarded the 2013 Undergraduate
Borrie prize by the Australian Population Association for his 2012 Population Health
POPS508 paper. This was Jackson's second Borrie prize, also winning the undergraduate
category in 2011 while in the second year of his degree. Jackson joins a very small cohort of
prize winners for this highly esteemed Australian award, adding to our mana across the
Tasman.
In 2013 Patrick Broman completed a Masters with First
Class Honours on ethnic counting in the Pacific under the
supervision of Dr Kukutai. Patrick also worked as a
Research Assistant on the Ethnicity Counts? project and
will spend the next six months co-writing publications.
Patrick presented a paper from his thesis at the
Australian Sociological Association conference in
Melbourne in November, and the SAANZ (Sociological
Association of Aotearoa NZ) conference in Auckland in
December 2013. He was also invited to participate in the
Living Standards NZ Workshop, a collaboration between
Treasury and the McGuinness Institute aiming to
encourage informed discussion around policy around
living standards in New Zealand (Wellington, December
2013). Patrick impressed Wendy McGuinness from the
McGuinness Institute so much that she asked him to be
an adviser on an upcoming book that she is writing.
Patrick hopes to pursue a PhD overseas in the near future.

Visitors
Hans Elshof, a PhD student from the University of Groningen and the Netherlands Interdisciplinary
Demographic Institute, The Hague was the first of our overseas visitors for the year. Hans gave a
seminar on population decline in the rural regions of the Netherlands, a topic dear to NIDEA hearts,
before he left to explore our wonderful country.
Assistant Professor Victor Thompson from Rider University visited NIDEA in July to work with Dr
Kukutai and NIDEA graduate Patrick Broman on the Marsden-funded project Ethnicity Counts?
During his visit Professor Thompson also gave a presentation on race and incarceration in the United
States as part of the NIDEA seminar series.
In September Dr Catherine Ris from the University of New Caledonia, while in her capacity as Visiting
Researcher at the Centre for Development Studies at the University of Auckland, also visited NIDEA
and gave a fascinating talk about the social inequalities between the indigenous people and nonindigenous people of New Caledonia.
During November, NIDEA hosted visits by two European
professors. The first was Dr Per Axelsson from the
Centre for Sami Research, Umeå University, Sweden. Dr
Axelsson is the PI on a five-year project with Dr Tahu
Kukutai investigating the impacts of colonisation and
colonialism on indigenous population health in Sweden,
New Zealand and Australia. NIDEA graduates Maraea
Mullane-Ronaki and Alison Day have also been working
with Dr Kukutai on research related to the IHIT project.

The second visitor in November was the current Director of the Netherlands Interdisciplinary
Demographic Institute (NIDI), Professor Leo van Wissen. NIDI, located in The Hague, is an
internationally renowned centre for research on a wide range of population issues. Its work has
significantly influenced related policy development across Europe, and directors and staff have
played important roles in the
International Union for the Scientific
Study of Population (IUSSP) and other
international networks of demographers.
NIDI is also an important host of
graduate students in The Netherlands
doing thesis research in demography,
and we at NIDEA have had the pleasure
of hosting visits from some of these
students. Professor van Wissen gave a
seminar on the topic of longevity. Both
professors joined the festivities of the
Professors Jacques Poot, Leo van Wissen and Natalie Jackson
NIDEA third birthday event.
