Cultural diversity in New Zealand
Transcript
This is my next contribution to New Zealand’s super diverse future. The status quo is not sustainable. Superdiversity stocktake. What I would talk to you about now is designed to help us to adept to a super diverse New Zealand. To make sure that we are foot for the future. Because New Zealand is super diverse right now. Predominantly in Auckland, but actually throughout New Zealand. Here, we are already 50% Māori, Pacifica and Asian. 44% are not born in New Zealand. And we have over two hundred ethnicities. Now the definition academically of super-diversity is 25 percent are born in New Zealand a hundred ethnicities. So we are almost double that number already. And Auckland will continue to become younger and browner as Angela says some population ages and shrinks. So the megatrend here is not age. And the megatrend here is not urbanization. The megatrend is demography. It’s ethnicity. And we need to get our head around that because most of the benefits from super-diversity that we, as a country, are enjoying at the moment such as great renovation, productivity and investment increase New Zealand’s financial capital, whereas the most of the challenges from super-diversity adversely affect New Zealand’s social capital. However, if you don’t mitigate the challenges to your social capital, you are not gonna maximize sustainably the diversity dividing benefits for your financial capital.

Answer:
New Zealand now has over 200 distinct ethnic communities with over 40% of the total population being born overseas, and it continues to be more demographically diverse as population grows, which brings both challenges and opportunities. Culture diversity increases New Zealand’s financial capital, but it adversely affects New Zealand’s social capital. However, social capital is correlated with financial capital, hence the challenges to social capital need to be mitigated.Submit
