Market Transitions

Self-employment in New Zealand has been trending up in the past two years, following subdued growth between 2000 and 2010. Self-employed people made up 11.3% of total employed in the year to March 2012 (251,800 workers), compared with 10.1% in the year to March 2010. Self-employment is defined in this paper as those people operating their own business without employees. The paper explores time series trends in self-employment, in particular across three post-recession periods. Characteristics of self-employed workers are also identified. This paper also investigates movements in and out of self-employment in order to understand the recent growth in this type of employment. The analysis uses longitudinal Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS) data. The HLFS provides official measures of a range of labour market indicators, including the number of people employed, unemployed and not in the labour force.

Self Employment

This paper provides a preliminary analysis of self-employment in New Zealand. Using census data from Supennap3 and HLFS data, we find that self-employment is growing with an increased proportion of the labour force being self-employed now than in 1986. This growth is however quite modest. Pull factors attracting people to self-employment appear to be stronger than push factors whereby people enter self-employment because of lack of alternative opportunities. However, results are not definitive. A possible causal relationship between self-employment and unemployment is explored using a time-series regression model. Results suggest a negative and significant relationship between self-employment and lagged unemployment rate. We also observe a weak but positive influence of the ECA, tax and intellectual property rights reforms on self-employment. There are regional differences in regard to factors that could be influencing individuals' decisions to enter into self-employment. While pull factors may explain entry into self-employment for Tasman, Marlborough, Southland and West Coast regions, unemployment appears to be a strong factor for Northland, Taranaki, Waikato, and the Bay of Plenty. The analysis also looks at self-employment by occupation, qualifications, income, industry, age, gender and ethnicity. The paper concludes by mentioning policy implications and suggesting future research.

New statistical measures were published in a report by Statistics New Zealand on 24 October 2006 from the Linked Employer-Employee Data Set (LEED). LEED uses longitudinal information from existing taxation and Statistics NZ Sources to provides a range of information on the dynamics of the New Zealand labour market. New statistics have been produced for the first time on income transitions, job tenure, multiple job holding and the self-employed. The use of administrative data allows Statistics New Zealand to produce new statistics at level of regional and industry detail not available from existing sources. Detailed statistics from the 2000 to 2005 tax years are available on the Statistics New Zealand web-site. The statistics are mostly person-level statistics for the period to the end of the 2005 tax year. This paper provides highlight from this report, covering three areas: earnings transitions, multiple job holding as well as new information on self-employment. LEED can produce these outputs across time and three other dimensions, age, sex and regional council area. Not all of this information is provided in the annual release, but is available, free of change, on Statistics New Zealand’s web based Table Builder product.

<p>There are now an unprecedented number of refugees world-wide. The global impact of this is felt in New Zealand, with the refugee quota set to increase in 2018. The refugee crisis is an important design problem that architects must engage with as refugees are a particularly vulnerable group of people. Typically refugees have been assimilated into New Zealand society, however it is known that this process can cause psychological harm.  This thesis seeks to investigate how architecture can thoughtfully and compassionately engage with refugee communities through a design-led investigation which will explore how a dwelling can meet specific cultural and spatial needs while providing opportunities for self-employment, and how a space which is specifically designed for refugee needs can embrace diversity and create opportunities for intercultural dialogue in the wider community.  To investigate this, a sociological framework is used as a lens to examine methods of integration which provide potential ways for architecture to be manifested. Refugees often arrive with few economic resources and can be more reliant on the state and their surrounding communities. The biggest issue felt over long-term resettlement for refugees is a lack of employment which has a direct impact as they don’t have enough money to meet their everyday needs. This can also contribute to a negative public opinion about refugees.  To address this issue, this thesis seeks to investigate how a hybrid building type, the shop-house, could be explored to provide refugees a dwelling that could meet their specific cultural and spatial needs and create potential opportunities for self-employment, self-determination and intercultural contact. The shop-house is a fundamental feature of a city, and can provide an economic foothold for people of all economic means. However, this thesis discovers its limitations and explores an alternative option to allow a refugee community to put down roots and make a new life in a new country which also enriches the host community.</p>

The Eighth Conference on Labour, Work and Employment attracted 32 papers which, as well as covering themes addressed in previous conferences such as earnings differentials and regional labour markets, also ventures into  new areas, notably the influence of health on labour supply, the role of the family and social exclusion. The conference received two further papers on the Maori and two comparative papers addressing differences between New Zealand and the experience of Denmark to the Netherlands. New concepts such as spatial hysteresis were applied and new types of data were introduced including Statistics New Zealand's micro level record data. New approaches were also taken to longstanding questions such as the trends in self-employment and de· industrialisation.

The employment experiences of recent Korean settlers in New Zealand are examined from both a macro and a micro perspective. The macro perspective is based on the analysis of census data. The micro perspective features a small longitudinal study of recent immigrants living in both Auckland and Hamilton -first interviewed between November 1995 and February 1996 and reinterviewed between June and August 1998. The Korean experience in New Zealand in the 1990's seems to differ from that of other earlier overseas Korean immigrants. Levels of self-employment are high amongst recent Korean settlers; many operating small ethnic businesses patronised by Koreans. Analysis suggests that much of this self-employment generates supplementary rather than primary income.

This paper examines the self-employment patterns of Chinese immigrants in New Zealand, using labour force data provided in the 1996 Census of Population and Dwellings and survey data from interviews in New Zealand and Hong Kong. As expected, the census data show that the propensities to enter self-employment increase with age and length of residence in New Zealand. Amongst the Chinese immigrants who came to New Zealand after 1986, the pursuit of self-employment is unlikely to be confined to immigrants approved under the business immigration schemes. Structural barriers to employment, such as non-recognition of overseas qualifications and experiences, can also drive many contemporary Chinese immigrants into self-employment. The second part of the paper reflects on the business experiences of recent Chinese migrants in New Zealand, drawing on research carried out on the migration of entrepreneurs to New Zealand from Hong Kong during the 1990's. We conclude our paper by discussing some of the implications of the Government's recent business immigration policy changes. We emphasize the need for a post-settlement policy and other initiatives that will ensure that immigrants are able to maximize their opportunities to contribute effectively to New Zealand's economy and society.

Our collaboration involves groups in Denmark, the U.S.A. Spain and of course New Zealand. Combining ground-based and satellite (IUEandHST) observations we aim to determine accurate and precise stellar fundamental parameters for the components of Magellanic Cloud Eclipsing Binaries as well as the distances to these systems and hence the parent galaxies themselves. This poster presents our latest progress.
