Table explanation


This tables gives an overview of transfers of knowledge in several
countries. Transfer of knowledge refers to immigrants and expatriates
subdivided into highly educated and less educated. The transfer of highly
educated migrants gives an indication of the level of international
exchange of knowledge. An increase in the number of (foreign) highly
educated workers in a country has a positive influence on the investment
climate and increases the attraction on innovative activity.

Note:
Comparable definitions are used to compare the presented figures
internationally. The definitions sometimes differ from definitions used by
Statistics Netherlands. The figures in this table could differ from
Dutch figures presented elsewhere on the website of Statistics Netherlands.

Data available for 2000-2002.
