Population Growth in New Zealand

Population growth is the measure of the growth of a population over time usually measured in percentages. It relies on TWO major factors: Natural Increase and Net Migration. Natural Increase is the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths that occur annually. Net Migration is the difference between the number who arrive (Immigrate) and those who leave a country (Emigrate) in a year. Usually the difference between these two is positive and a population grows. This has not always been the case in NZ.
