    Netherlands
    Description

    Population in The Netherlands on 1 January by sex, age, marital status, generation and migration background.

    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 being replaced by categories based on continents and a few countries that share a specific migration history with the Netherlands. The new classification is being implemented gradually in tables and publications on population by origin.

    Data available from 1996 to 2022.

    Status of the figures: All figures in the table are final.

    Changes per 13 January 2023: None, this table was discontinued.

    When will new figures be published? No longer applicable. This table is succeeded by the table Population; sex, age, country of origin, country of birth, 1 January. See section 3.

    Description
    China immigration statistics for 2015 was 978,046, a 15.08% increase from 2010.
    <ul style='margin-top:20px;'>
    
    <li>China immigration statistics for 2010 was <strong>849,861</strong>, a <strong>25.17% increase</strong> from 2005.</li>
    <li>China immigration statistics for 2005 was <strong>678,947</strong>, a <strong>33.64% increase</strong> from 2000.</li>
    <li>China immigration statistics for 2000 was <strong>508,034</strong>, a <strong>14.89% increase</strong> from 1995.</li>
    </ul>International migrant stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees. The data used to estimate the international migrant stock at a particular time are obtained mainly from population censuses. The estimates are derived from the data on foreign-born population--people who have residence in one country but were born in another country. When data on the foreign-born population are not available, data on foreign population--that is, people who are citizens of a country other than the country in which they reside--are used as estimates. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 people living in one of the newly independent countries who were born in another were classified as international migrants. Estimates of migrant stock in the newly independent states from 1990 on are based on the 1989 census of the Soviet Union. For countries with information on the international migrant stock for at least two points in time, interpolation or extrapolation was used to estimate the international migrant stock on July 1 of the reference years. For countries with only one observation, estimates for the reference years were derived using rates of change in the migrant stock in the years preceding or following the single observation available. A model was used to estimate migrants for countries that had no data.

    Description

    Over the past 10 years, the number of people with an immigrant background living in Norway increased. Whereas nearly 1.1 million people with an immigrant background lived in Norway in 2014, this number had increased to nearly 1.5 million as of 2024. Of these, first generation immigrants was, by far, the largest group, counting 930,000 people. The second largest group was people born in Norway with one parent born abroad, followed by inhabitants born in Norway with two parents born abroad. Immigration to the Nordics Norway is not the only Nordic country with increasing immigration. Immigration has increased in each Nordic country from 2000 and onwards, with Sweden leading immigration until being taken over by Denmark in 2022. Sweden has taken in a comparatively high number of refugees, but most immigrants to the Nordics are from other European countries, such as in Finland. Population challenges in the Nordics Over time, the fertility rate has declined in each Nordic country, and as of 2022, Iceland had the highest fertility rate in the region with only 1.6 children born per woman. Moreover, those aged 70 and older are increasingly making up larger portions of Nordic societies. These factors combined can create challenges as there are less workers available, making immigration an important factor in the Nordic labor markets.

    Description

    This table contains figures on immigrants living in the Netherlands who have come to the Netherlands with a nationality of a country within the European Union (EU) or European Free Trade Association (EFTA). The figures refer to the reporting period 1999 to 2022. Data are broken down by gender, age group, nationality, derived migration target, naturalisation, socio-economic category and year of immigration. Immigrants from within the EU/EFTA do not need a residence permit from the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND). The derived migration target has been determined by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) on the basis of activities carried out by the immigrant after immigration into the Netherlands. No derived migration goal has been determined for persons who have Dutch nationality. For persons who had the nationality of a non-EU/EFTA country at the time of immigration, the derived migration target is based on the permit of the IND. This table only includes immigrants who, at the time of immigration, were nationals of countries belonging to the EU or EFTA on 31 December. As the United Kingdom left the European Union from 31 January 2020, immigrants from the United Kingdom are therefore included in this table until 31 December 2019.

    Immigrants from countries that joined the EU or EFTA after 1999 are included in this table from the year of accession. Immigrants from countries that left the EU or EFTA after 1999 are included in this table until the year of withdrawal. Example: immigrants from the United Kingdom are included in this table until 2019.

    Data available from: 1999

    Status of figures: The figures in this table are provisional. Subsequent information has been incorporated into the figures for the previous periods. As a result, small deviations with previously published figures are possible.

    Amendments as at 31 October 2024: None. This is a new table.

    When will there be new figures? The figures for 2023 will be published in October 2025.

    Description

    The study analyzes the forces leading to or impeding the assimilation of 18- to 32-year-olds from immigrant backgrounds that vary in terms of race, language, and the mix of skills and liabilities their parents brought to the United States. To make sure that what we find derives specifically from growing up in an immigrant family, rather than simply being a young person in New York, a comparison group of people from native born White, Black, and Puerto Rican backgrounds was also studied. The sample was drawn from New York City (except for Staten Island) and the surrounding counties in the inner part of the New York-New Jersey metropolitan region where the vast majority of immigrants and native born minority group members live and grow up. The study groups make possible a number of interesting comparisons. Unlike many other immigrant groups, the West Indian first generation speaks English, but the dominant society racially classifies them as Black. The study explored how their experiences resemble or differ from native born African Americans. Dominicans and the Colombian-Peruvian-Ecuadoran population both speak Spanish, but live in different parts of New York, have different class backgrounds prior to immigration, and, quite often, different skin tones. The study compared them to Puerto Rican young people, who, along with their parents, have the benefit of citizenship. Chinese immigrants from the mainland tend to have little education, while young people with overseas Chinese parents come from families with higher incomes, more education, and more English fluency. Respondents were divided into eight groups depending on their parents' origin. Those of immigrant ancestry include: Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union; Chinese immigrants from the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Chinese Diaspora; immigrants from the Dominican Republic; immigrants from the English-speaking countries of the West Indies (including Guyana but excluding Haiti and those of Indian origin); and immigrants from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. These groups composed 44 percent of the 2000 second-generation population in the defined sample area. For comparative purposes, Whites, Blacks, and Puerto Ricans who were born in the United States and whose parents were born in the United States or Puerto Rico were also interviewed. To be eligible, a respondent had to have a parent from one of these groups. If the respondent was eligible for two groups, he or she was asked which designation he or she preferred. The ability to compare these groups with native born Whites, Blacks, and Puerto Ricans permits researchers to investigate the effects of nativity while controlling for race and language background. About two-thirds of second-generation respondents were born in the United States, mostly in New York City, while one-third were born abroad but arrived in the United States by age 12 and had lived in the country for at least 10 years, except for those from the former Soviet Union, some of whom arrived past the age of 12. The project began with a pilot study in July 1996. Survey data collection took place between November 1999 and December 1999. The study includes demographic variables such as race, ethnicity, language, age, education, income, family size, country of origin, and citizenship status.
