  • Title: Interregional demographic aging and migration of the elderly in New Zealand.
    Author: Heenan LD, Moffat K.
    Journal: Asia Pac Popul J; 1986 Dec; 1(4):49-74. PubMed ID: 12268136.
    Abstract:
    The authors examine the growth of the elderly population in New Zealand, with particular attention to interregional migration. "The main aim of this article is to document the way in which the increased number and proportion of the elderly evident at the national level has been manifested among major regions of the country, and to identify the demographic factors which have been responsible for the regional differences which occur." The data used are primarily from national censuses While various migration patterns by age group are noted, it is concluded that "the high proportions of non-migrants among the elderly living in every region indicates that aging-in-place and associated dying-in-place are the principal processes affecting the broad geographical distribution of elderly New Zealanders."
