The Netherlands - Migration: Family is the biggest reason for migration to the Netherlands
People joining their
families was the biggest reason for migration to the Netherlands in
2015, the Dutch statistics service announced on Monday.
The CBS says that a third of the 159,000 people who migrated to the
country in 2015 came to join family members already here.
In 2003, half came for this reason, although since the number of
migrants has increased, this figure was 36,655 compared with 51,920 in
2015.
There was a dramatic rise in asylum-related migration in 2015, to almost
27,000, but more people actually moved to the Netherlands for work that
year, and almost 20,000 came to study.
Most of those joining their families came from Poland, Syria, Germany,
India and the UK in 2015. The figures exclude people of Dutch
nationality moving to the country.

The Netherlands - Poverty: Serious rise in poverty in the Netherlands - by Alexandra Gowling
New statistics from state statistics agency CBS reveal that poverty
in the Netherlands has increased sharply over the last two years, from
7,4 per cent in 2010 to 9,4 per cent in 2012.
Despite the economic crisis beginning in 2008, the full impact on household incomes has only begun to be felt over the last few years. Now, 664.000 households in the Netherlands are at risk of poverty, with a total of 1,329 million people in 2012 existing on a low income.
Estimates suggest that the poverty rate will have risen again in 2013, but less than in 2012, and decline slightly in 2014.
Adults in poverty are often employed, although of the 348.000 working poor in 2012, 165.000 were self-employed. There were also 255.000 poor social assistance benefit recipients and 79.000 people aged over 65 (i.e. retired) in poverty.
There are also more children in poverty now: over 100.000 more than in 2007. That means one in three poor people is aged under 18. In addition, people living in poverty are less likely to be immigrants to the Netherlands, with 60 per cent of people in poverty identifying as native Dutch.
Further, almost a quarter of all households in the Netherlands living below the low-income threshold in 2011 were in the Randstad, with the largest share in Amsterdam. The poverty rate has risen more in The Hague and Rotterdam than Amsterdam since 2009, however, and Rotterdam has the most poor postcode districts in the top 20.
