About this dataset
The Short-term Employment Forecast: 2016-19 presents employment forecasts for 2016 to 2019 (March years). The forecasts will inform the Ministry’s advice relating to immigration priorities, and priority setting for tertiary education and industry training over the same period.
Method of collection/Data provider
The Ministry uses a short-term forecasting model that draws on the latest macroeconomic forecasts by the Treasury, covering detailed forecasts of terms of trade, exchange rates and interest rates.17 The detailed macroeconomic forecasts enable economic activity in broad industries to be forecast consistent with overall economic growth.
The Ministry used model-based forecasts of industry level economic activity and productivity (the latter moderated by the Ministry for consistency across individual sectors) to derive forecasts of industry employment. The industry level employment forecasts are then used to forecast employment by occupations and by skill levels by using the Census based occupational shares across industries.
