Inflation, lack of jobs, poor healthcare … Indian told to work in New Zealand

Indian status abroad: Do you want to work abroad? If your answer is yes, then you should avoid working in New Zealand. Going to another country and working is a life -changing decision, but it comes with both opportunities and challenges. Some people are able to start life well in foreign countries, while some people have to struggle. New Zealand is a country where many Indians may have problems while working and staying.
Recently, an Indian, who grew up in New Zealand, has made the world aware of the truth here. he/she told how he/she could not face the challenges faced in New Zealand and then returned to India. In a post on Reddit, the person said that there are many disadvantages of living here. he/she warned the people thinking of going to New Zealand that there are too many inflations, there are less job opportunities and feel like a small town. he/she also highlighted the problem of healthcare.

Things expensive in New Zealand due to far-flung: Indians

In a long-wide post, Indian told how New Zealand is far and wide, everything is very expensive here. he/she told, “New Zealand is a far-flung country, so the goods are expensive here. Shipping costs are more here. Being far-flung means that there is no neighboring country in New Zealand. It may be good for India, but New Zealand turns it into a small town. You do not feel connected to the rest of the world.”

Low job opportunities in New Zealand

The Indian also told how the job opportunities are less due to the low population here, because companies do not want to invest in New Zealand. The Indian person said, “The small population of New Zealand of 50 lakhs makes it an unnecessary market for many international businesses. Many international companies do not see any meaning of investing in New Zealand. For example, about a year ago Nike closed his/her New Zealand online store, so if you were buying online, you will have to ship NIKE products from abroad.”

Life lifeless in New Zealand

Large shopping malls are also closed at 7 pm. Very few people appear in the city after 8:30 pm. he/she told, “The biggest shopping malls are all closed at 7 pm. Most of the shops are closed at 5-6 pm. If you go to the city center after 8:30 pm, hardly anyone is walking out.

Citing a survey, in which migrants described New Zealand as the second worst country in the world, the user said that life becomes difficult due to inflation. Most of the week’s earnings are spent from one city to another. So people stay at home after work and do nothing. he/she said, “You take a bus/taxi from one city to another and this is most of your disposable income for the week. So people finally stay at home and do nothing after work.”

1 lakh rupees spent on showing the doctor

The user made a lot of complaints about the healthcare service. he/she criticized long waiting for expert doctors, expensive fees of doctors and shortage of experienced doctors. Indian said that one of his/her friends had to spend about 1 lakh rupees to show the cardiologist for chest pain. he/she told, “My friend had to show a cardiologist for chest pain. For initial consultation, he/she spent about 1 lakh rupees.” Her father had to wait six months in New Zealand for kidney stone surgery, so he/she had to come to India and undergo surgery.
