Paul Spoonley: Sociologist says migration loss is a concern

A sociologist says migration loss is a concern. Stats NZ data shows in September there was an estimated migration gain of 2,176 people. But for the year ending September, there's still a provisional net migration loss of 8,400. Sociologist Paul Spoonley says there's been an uptick in immigrants, but it's a long way to reach pre-Covid levels. He says we've tended to operate a brain exchange where the loss is made up by skilled migrants coming here - but at the moment there's not quite that balance.
