A comparison of the employment generated by forestry and agriculture in New Zealand

Abstract

The objective of the research reported here was to assess land use change in forestry and agriculture in both New Zealand as a whole and the main regions, with a focus on the relationship of land use to employment. This report presents these results and provides an understanding of the general patterns. It provides a context to the case study of the East Coast region which examines a broad range of socio-economic data associated with land use change.
