Abstract

This paper commences with an Australian perspective on the operation of the points system in the context of provision of skilled labour, a perspective which has relevance for the debate about the labour market in New Zealand. The discussion then focuses on a group of international migrants who are beyond the control of points systems and immigration policy in general – New Zealanders returning after a lengthy absence overseas. Their employment experiences in New Zealand are considered and, towards the end of the paper, reference is made to their attitudes towards current immigration.
