Annual surveys

Temporary migrant workers - Annual monitor

MBIE is leading part of a Government initiative to address temporary migrant worker exploitation in New Zealand. Most research to date has focused on understanding the situation of temporary migrants (those on short term or student visas). 

However, there is little previous work that segments/prioritises temporary migrant worker populations or understands employers who hire and potentially exploit these migrants. 

Prioritising audiences and shifting employer attitudes and behaviours will be key to the success of the overall initiative.
