Abstract

The Fijian Government has increased the retirement age from 60 to 62 years to counteract a 'labour exodus' to Australia and New Zealand. Over 50,000 Fijians emigrated between July 2022 and December 2023, mainly due to better education and employment opportunities abroad. The government has made several policy changes to mitigate the impact on the local labour market and encourage investment including bringing in more foreign workers, removing visa barriers for former citizens and adjusting tax rules.
