Indian mothers account for 1 in every 8 births in New Zealand this year
Data from birth registrations shows that approximately one out of every eight infants born in New Zealand throughout 2024 was born to an Indian mother. The percentage of births to mothers of Indian ethnicity has climbed steadily over the years, moving from 2.8% in 2008 to 3.5% in 2012, reaching 7.9% in 2020, and hitting 12.6% in 2024. Experts attribute this upward trend to the expansion of the Indian population in New Zealand and ongoing migration patterns.
