Report on Integration and Society, 2024

The Report on Integration and Society (Rapportage Integratie en Samenleven) describes how groups of different origins relate to the average of the Dutch population. For the different origin groups in Dutch society, the differences and similarities compared to the average of the total Dutch population are illustrated on the basis of various themes. The themes covered are: population, housing, education, labour market, social security, income, crime, health and social participation.

The report addresses the question of whether the differences decreased in recent years and whether the second generation born in the Netherlands is moving towards the average compared to migrants born abroad.

In addition, the report contains three in-depth chapters. The first chapter looks at the effect of the social network on children’s language proficiency. The second chapter discusses the careers of graduates in high and low economic times. The third chapter shows the contact between local residents and views on diversity.
