The demographic forces shaping service provision - and demand Natalie Jackson Professor of Demography, National Institute of Demographic and Economic Analysis (NIDEA) Natalie Jackson Demographics Ltd Presentation to WasteMINZROUNDUP 2014, Queenstown April 3rd2014
Population ageing – what does it mean for WasteMINZ? • The demographic forces shaping our future • More elderly than children • Fewer labour market entrants than exits • More deaths than births > the end of growth • Urban agglomeration versus subnational population decline • Regional impacts of demographic and economic change (NgaTangata Oho Mairangi) - MBIE • The subnational mechanisms of the ending of growth – towards a theory of depopulation (Tai Timu Tangata, Taihoa e ) – Marsden • Jackson (forthcoming) Planning for a demographically-tight labour market - New Zealand’s ageing occupations and industries
Population ageing – New Zealand style Me 8.6 % 65+ years 14.2% aged 65+

Ageing-driven growth • Between 2011 and 2031 all growth in 56 (84%) Territorial Authority Areas is projected to be at 65+ years; all are projected to see overall decline at 0-64 years: • Only 11 TAs escape this scenario • Growth will end in most TAs
2013 Census • 2006-2013: Auckland accounted for 52% of growth • Auckland plus 11 cities accounted for 75% of growth • Elsewhere - patchy growth, widespread/ deepening decline • Of 1971 census area units with resident populations in 2006, 35% declined (647) or had zero growth (39) • The data confirm past trends / mixed futures..
2001-2006 • End of growth / depopulation not a new issue, but it is spreading and its cause is changing • Old form of decline = net migration loss (was resolvable) • New form of decline = net migration loss plus natural decline (self-reinforcing)
This disparate situation is projected to continue Source: Statistics New Zealand, Subnational Population Projections: 2006(base)–2031 (October 2012 update)
Enter - the demographically-tight labour market Baby Boomer Retirement (NZ 1 mill.) Competition for labour supply Between industries (incl. education), regions, countries..
What do these trends mean for your industry? NZ: 28,000 fewer school leavers over the next 10 years Source: Statistics NZ 2012 Projected population of New Zealand by age and sex, 2011(base)-2061
..it is happening - fewer school leavers are coming to a town near you
..it will get worse before it gets better – and then the respite will be patchy

Time to rethink demand/service delivery Population ageing is here to stay It is coming to a WasteMINZ service near you It will drive down labour supply and drive up labour costs It will see the permanent end of growth / onset of depopulation in most rural areas We urgently need to rethink most types of service delivery (and demand) Accept Buffer Collaborate/Conserve
