New Zealand's Demographic Trends
New Zealand is experiencing shifts in demographics, with declining fertility rates below replacement levels and a surge in immigration since 2013. The aging population, characterized by the baby boomer generation reaching retirement age, is leading towards hyper-aging, with significant growth in the over 65 age group predicted. Regional disparities are expected, with projections showing 75% of the population residing in the top half of the North Island, particularly Auckland.
