The figures are from Statistics New Zealand's Demographic Trends 2006 and National Population Projections: 2006 (base) – 2061

Notes

New Zealand population growth expectations start to level off as we reach 2050. As with global projections a number of global and local changes could impact on population growth. For example if climate change causes significant sea-level rise then we may have a high influx of climate refugees.
