New Zealanders love to travel. As a small island nation at the end of the world, the national curiosity of Kiwis is only sated by serious air miles. In fact, people say that wherever you go in the world you’ll find a Kiwi, but how many New Zealanders actually live overseas?
A figure often quoted by the media is 1 million. How accurate is this estimate of New Zealand's diaspora? Well, the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates that approximately 475,000 New Zealand-born people are living in Australia and 60,000 New Zealand-born residents were counted in the UK at the last census. Add in around 25,000 Kiwis in the USA, 9,500 in Canada and you’re well on the way to hitting that 1 million number.
