Life style factors and incomes in New Zealand are still appealing enough to attract a healthy flow of immigrants that more than compensates for the flow across the ditch – which is why the Treasury has previously termed this a brain exchange rather than a brain drain. But the combined effect of a growing income gap and larger population is predicted to lead to a net outflow of 26,000 people per year.
