Foreign-born employees; resident/non-resident, demographic variables

This table concerns jobs of foreign-born employees within the age range of 18 up to 74 years. A distinction is made between employees who are registered as a resident in the Dutch population register (BRP; formerly known as the GBA) and those not registered as a resident in the BRP. Furthermore, the table can be broken down into origin background, gender, age, hourly wage class, employment contract type, and the Dutch standard industrial classification (SBI 2008).
All employees registered as resident were at least 18 years old when they immigrated to the Netherlands. Likewise, the non-resident employees were at least 18 years old at the start of their stay in the Netherlands.

The variable ‘country of origin’ is included as a background variable. Because the target population consists of both resident and non-resident employees, it is not always possible to directly derive the origin background. Missing data in this respect are imputed using information on someone’s country of permanent residence or someone’s nationality.

Data available from: 2010.

Status of the figures:
Data from 2010 up to and including 2024 are final.

The figures for 2024 are added.

Changes as of 28 March 2025:
The figures for 2023 are adjusted. The method for determining the population has been improved for the reference period 2023. This means that approximately 1% of the total number of jobs held by foreign-born employees are now included.

When will new figures be published?
New figures for 2025 will be published in the fourth quarter of 2026.
