Immigration and emigration in the Netherlands and the administrative corrections by country of birth, sex, age and marital status. 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 replaced by categories based on continents and a few countries that share a specific migration history with the Netherlands. The new classification by origin is being introduced gradually in tables and publications on population by origin. Data available from: 2020 Status of the figures: All data recorded in this publication are final data. Changes as from 3 June 2024: Final figures of 2023 have been added. Changes as from 8 March 2024: None, this is a new table. This table succeeds the table External migration; sex, age, marital status and country of birth; 1995-2022. See section 3. The following changes have been implemented compared to the discontinued table: - The countries Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Turkey have been assigned to the continent of Asia (previously Europe); - Relative to the discontinued table, minor differences may occur. The differences are due to a change in the production process. When will new figures be published? The final figures of 2024 will be added in the third quarter of 2025 in this publication.
