Men wanted desperately, it's official. The increasing surplus of
high quality women in the 30 plus age group over suitable
available men is becoming a major problem in both New Zealand
and Australia. Current trends show that in Australia in 1976
there was a surplus of 30-something men totalling 54,000. Today
there is a surplus of 20,000females. In New Zealand with a
smaller population base of about 4 million there are some 24,000
plus more women than men in this critical age group. The trend
is getting worse. Experts point out that much of this problem is
caused by the fact that other countries, in particular those in
the richer northern hemisphere, are only to pleased to grab up
highly trained young Kiwi and Aussie men, most of whom have been
educated and trained at the expense of the New Zealand &
Australian taxpayer. Both Kiwis and Aussies have traditionally
undertaken their great OE (overseas experience) since the days
of colony status. In the past most have ultimately returned to
their homelands to settle. Today however, more males are
settling overseas. They marry and settle in the new wife's
homeland environment or others return with a wife and are
therefore unavailable on the marriage market. Alternatively, the
females are returning to their natural habitat to settle to find
a serious shortage of quality mates. I do highlight the words
