Indian NZers Power Economy with $37B | Auckland News
Description
Indian New Zealanders are powering the economy with a staggering $37.3 billion contribution—8.6% of the nation’s GDP—and supporting over 220,000 jobs, despite making up just 6% of the population. Commissioned by the Waitākere Indian Association and backed by government bodies, the report reveals a young, highly educated, and increasingly self-employed community driving growth through entrepreneurship, household spending, and international student contributions. Median incomes are above the national average, with over 50K earners more than doubling in recent years. Yet challenges remain, including retail crime, immigration hurdles, and underemployment among skilled professionals like nurses, highlighting the need for continued support to ensure full integration and opportunity.
