"In a recent speech to the New Zealand government, Immigration Minister David Cunliffe outlined the country's plan to attract migrants from abroad in a bid to keep the New Zealand labor force competitive in the global economy, increase public confidence, and foster New Zealand's diverse population. He outlined four "key drivers of change" that created a need for the Immigration Change Programme: greater movement of people throughout the world, global competition for skills, ensuring adequate settlement procedures for New Zealand's increasingly diverse population, and heightened border security because of increased international terrorism."
