National Labour Force Projections: 2006(base)–2061 (August 2012 update) key facts

National labour force projections give an indication of New Zealand's future labour force.

The projections indicate:
• New Zealand's labour force will continue to grow, but the growth rate will slow.
• The labour force will age, reflected in a rising median age and an increasing proportion of the labour force in the older ages.

The median projection indicates:
• New Zealand's labour force (2.4 million in 2012) will increase to 3.0 million in 2036 and 3.3 million in 2061.
• The labour force aged 65+ (130,000 in 2012) will increase to 370,000 in 2036 and 460,000 in 2061.
• The proportion of the labour force that is aged 65+ (5 percent in 2012) will increase to 13 percent in 2036 and 14 percent in 2061.
• The proportion of the 65+ population in the labour force (the labour force participation rate) (21 percent in 2012) will increase to about 30 percent from the mid-2020s.
