We are delighted to announce that our 2019/2020 Visiting Scholar will be Professor Maria Reinaruth D. Carlos, Professor of Economics in the Faculty of International Studies, Ryukoku University, Kyoto, Japan. Professor Carlos will work with our member Dr Arlene Ozanne to advance their research on overseas-educated nurses working in the elderly care sector in New Zealand and Japan. Part of their research will offer policy ideas to Japan, the world’s most aged country, in its search for long-term solutions to this problem.
During her visit to Dunedin in early 2020, Professor Carlos will give a public lecture examining the links between skills and labour migration patterns and a workshop on overseas-educated nurses in New Zealand’s elderly care sector.
