“…For ordinary New Zealanders, the OE began in the 1960s and really 'took off' (in terms of the numbers going) in the 1970s as a result of social and technological change. The 1970s was a decade characterized by a large volume of emigration from New Zealand as the birth cohort produced by the baby boom was passing through the most migratory prone phase of the life span (Heenan, 1979). New Zealand at this time had a high standard of living and this, coupled with the advent of more frequent air services, made overseas travel more affordable (McCarter, 2001).…”

The OE goes ‘home’: Cultural aspects of a working holiday experience

In this article we examine cultural aspects of the working holiday experience using the New Zealand Overseas Experience (OE) as a significant and revealing exemplar of this kind of travel. To date, the working holiday experience has been poorly served by tourism and migration literature in general terms, with even less attention paid to cultural aspects of these experiences in relation to both their origin and form. Using archival material and interview data on the OE as an empirical base, we explore in detail the cultural determination of this working holiday experience, the cultural connections that facilitate and reinforce its continuing form, and the hybrid cultural practices of the OE itself. Findings suggest that cultural aspects are central to the working holiday experience. We therefore suggest that the role of culture deserves more explicit attention in both tourism and migration studies that address such working holiday experiences.

Social changes, along with delayed marriage and childbearing, also brought increasing freedom for women (McGill, 1989).…”

This is the second volume of the ongoing research programme on backpacking developed by the Backpacker Research Group (BRG) of the Association for Tourism and Leisure Education (ATLAS). The BRG aims to act as a platform for the discussion and debate between researchers of backpacker travel worldwide. It follows on from the success of the first volume The Global Nomad (Richards & Wilson, 2004) and seeks to further shape this relatively new area of tourism research.

“…Assumptions of average annual net migration gains of 10,000, 'high' fertility and 'low' mortality combined to produce a population of just over 5 million in 2001 (Department of Statistics, 1973, 19). New Zealand's population has grown much less rapidly than expected and the reasons for this are examined in previous decennial reviews of New Zealand's population (Heenan, 1979;Bedford, 1991). New Zealand's population has grown much less rapidly than expected and the reasons for this are examined in previous decennial reviews of New Zealand's population (Heenan, 1979;Bedford, 1991).…”

“…Almost 30 years later, the New Zealand population is estimated to total around 3.85 million -the equivalent of the lowest estimate for 2001 in 1971. New Zealand's population has grown much less rapidly than expected and the reasons for this are examined in previous decennial reviews of New Zealand's population (Heenan, 1979;Bedford, 1991).…”

The 1990s can be characterised as the decade of migration as far as New Zealand's 20th century population history is concerned. There was the largest decennial net migration gain this century, the largest annual net migration gain since 1875, the largest decennial numerical increase in population since the 1960s, and the largest influx of immigrants from countries in northeast Asia on record. This was a decade when migration flows both in and out of the country attracted considerable public and political comment. In the mid-1990s it was thè Asian invasion' that was the key migration-related political issue; in the late 1990s it was the`Kiwi exodus', especially to Australia, that was attracting attention both in New Zealand and Australia. A`blip' in birth rates in the early 1990s also attracted considerable attention from demographers and policy analysts -a short-lived increase associated with irregularities in New Zealand's population structure as well as the changing patterns of fertility evident in later child bearing. The decade also saw some significant changes in the ethnic composition of the population, as well as debates about socio-economic`gaps' between some of the major ethnic components.
