The Netherlands has between 39,000 and 75,000 expats, according to new research by the national statistics office CBS.
The researchers define an expat as someone who was born outside the Netherlands and does not have Dutch nationality, who is aged 18 to 75 and earns a salary at the upper end of the norm in their sector.
The CBS research shows one in four ‘foreign employees’ with a high wage comes from England or Germany. Indians account for the third largest group of men and while Poland is third on the women’s list.
Most expats, according to the CBS, are aged 18 to 40 and one third are single.
The four big cities and their surrounding areas are home to most expats, while university cities also host a significant number, the CBS says.
The report also shows the business services, healthcare, academia, trade and the hospitality industries are most likely to employ expat staff.
