Why Auckland? Advice and opportunity: A study of why migrants settle in Auckland
Summary
This report is a second exploratory study into why and how migrants settle in different locations within New Zealand.
This report is one of a series of exploratory studies which comprise the Five Years On project, the samples for which were drawn from the cohort of just over 6,000 people who took part in the Longitudinal Immigration Survey: New Zealand (LisNZ) and who agreed to a further in-depth interview. In total 64 people took part in these in-depth studies, 24 of whom were from Auckland. All had been in New Zealand at least 5 years since gaining permanent residence by the time they took part in this study.
