flag New Zealand faces a record exodus of nearly 122,000 people, mainly skilled workers, due to high costs and economic struggles, with many moving to Australia, the UK, and the US for better opportunities.

flag New Zealand is seeing a record migration wave, with nearly 122,000 people leaving in the past year—12.5% of its population—driven by high living costs, economic stagnation, and job losses. flag Former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her family have moved to Sydney, joining a growing number of middle-aged professionals and retirees relocating permanently, mainly to Australia, the UK, and the US. flag Many cite better salaries, housing, healthcare, and quality of life abroad, despite similar wages at home. flag The exodus, particularly among skilled workers aged 30 to 50, reflects deep economic concerns, including public-sector cuts and declining affordability, with Australia’s automatic residency rights making it a top destination.
