New Zealand is changing – fast. By the 2030s, our population will look radically different: older, more culturally diverse, and unevenly spread across the country. Can our public services and policies keep pace with tomorrow’s demands? How will your life be affected if they don't?
In this urgent presentation, leading demographer Distinguished Professor Emeritus Paul Spoonley, author of The New New Zealand – The Demographic Disruption We’re Not Talking About (2020), reveals the seismic demographic shifts reshaping Aotearoa — from unprecedented ageing and declining birth rates to the accelerating impacts of immigration. With insight and clarity, he explores what these changes mean for our schools, hospitals, communities, and economy — and why many of our systems may not be ready.
If you want to understand the future of New Zealand — and your place in it — this talk is not to be missed.
