Midwives in New Zealand have to work overtime for a long time because of the shortage of manpower and the rising birth rate. Moreover, the average age of midwives in New Zealand is 48 years old, and new recruits are urgently needed.
Almost 100% midwives can find jobs after graduation, work as registered midwives in hospitals, fertility centers or communities, or become independent midwives, and apply for immigration with the qualification of shortage of professionals. In New Zealand, the working hours of midwives are freely chosen, and the salary of senior midwives can generally reach 40 New Zealand dollars (about RMB 200 yuan) per hour.
Application suggestion: According to experts, the undergraduate course of midwifery in New Zealand lasts for three years. High school graduates applying for midwifery need to reach an IELTS average of 7 before entering school, including 6.5 in writing and reading, and 7.0 in listening and speaking. Because the midwife major has relatively high requirements for English, it is suggested that applicants can go to New Zealand to study language courses first.
