Dataset is not available.
Immigration and emigration in the Netherlands and the administrative corrections by country of birth, sex, age and marital status.
CBS is in transition towards a new classification of the population by origin. Greater emphasis is now placed on where a person was born, aside from where that person’s parents were born. The term ‘migration background’ is no longer used in this regard. The main categories western/non-western are replaced by categories based on continents and a few countries that share a specific migration history with the Netherlands. The new classification by origin is being introduced gradually in tables and publications on population by origin.
Data available from: 2020
Status of the figures:
All data recorded in this publication are final data.
Changes as from 8 March 2024:
None, this is a new table. This table succeeds the table External migration; sex, age, marital status and country of birth; 1995-2022. See section 3.
The following changes have been implemented compared to the discontinued table:
- The countries Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Turkey have been assigned to the continent of Asia (previously Europe);
- Relative to the discontinued table, minor differences may occur. The differences are due to a change in the production process.
When will new figures be published?
The final figures of 2023 will be added in the second quarter of 2024 in this publication.
Description topics
- Immigration
- People moving to the Netherlands from another country.
All persons who enter the Netherlands with the intention of staying in the country for a certain period of time. For people arriving in the Netherlands, registration is obligatory if they stay in the country for at least four months during the first six months following registration.
Break in series external migration
As a result of an improved production process, a small shift has occurred in the figures on external migration.
From 2010 the following changes have been implemented.
- previously missed reports are now included;
- administrative entries preceding emigration are now considered as immigration
- administrative removals followed by immigration are now considered as emigration
Break in series of late reports
Up to 2010 reports of events in a certain year received at Statistics Netherlands after 15 February of the following year - the so-called late reports - were ignored. As a result of an improvement in the production method, late reports received in the year of publication will be included in the figures for the year of publication. - Emigration (incl. adm. corrections)
- Emigration including administrative corrections
People leaving for another country plus people removed on administrative grounds, minus people entered on administrative grounds.
Data on emigration including net administrative corrections give a better impression of the true level of emigration than data on emigration excluding net administrative corrections.
