Curious why many left for New Zealand? (General)

I have 7 Families in my Tree, who Emigrated to New Zealand from the Forest of Dean.
Transferable Occupations being Coal Mining, Farming, Railway Building and Butchery.
Work was hard to find when my Families Emigrated between 1900 & 1930 and the Promise of Work and a Better Standard of Living made them decide to Emigrate to New Zealand.
