Podcast: Leonard Hong discusses demographic changes in NZ and what this means for our housing crisis
If New Zealand politicians thought the housing crisis in 2020 was bad, the worst is yet to come, warns the Initiative's latest report, The Need to Build: The demographic drivers of housing demand.
In this podcast, Oliver Hartwich speaks with report author, Research Assistant Leonard Hong, who explains the implications of these demographic changes (e.g. migration, birth rate, and life expectancy) on New Zealand's housing market.
