Brad Olsen: Infometrics Chief Economist on balancing net migration levels

Questions are being raised over how to tweak immigration policies to get the right net migration levels.  Stats NZ data is showing a record high net migration gain of 128,900 migrants in the year to October.  Infometrics Chief Economist Brad Olsen told Mike Hosking that it's difficult to get it right, especially with a near two-year lag between policies and arrivals.  He says often ministers go too far the other way when they make changes, and two years later neither matches up.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
