Coming Home
Aotearoa is experiencing an unprecedented 'brain gain' as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Coming Home talks to some of the highly-skilled New Zealanders who’ve returned in 2020, as well as economists and demographers, to find out who these people are, what brought them back and what their arrival means means for the country.

Coming Home is brought to you by The Spinoff and Kiwibank.

Over the first four episodes of Coming Home we’ve heard about what's been pushing New Zealanders to live and work overseas for decades, and what pulled so many of them back home in 2020. In the final episode of the series, it’s time to ask how do we keep all the talent here now that it’s...
