Table explanation


This table concerns jobs of foreign-born employees within the age range of 18 up to 74 years. A distinction is made between employees who are registered as a resident in the Dutch population register (BRP; formerly known as the GBA) and those not registered as a resident in the BRP. Furthermore, the table can be broken down into origin background, gender, age, hourly wage class, employment contract type, and the Dutch standard industrial classification (SBI 2008).
All employees registered as resident were at least 18 years old when they immigrated to the Netherlands. Likewise, the non-resident employees were at least 18 years old at the start of their stay in the Netherlands.

The variable ‘origin background’ is included as a background variable. Because the target population consists of both resident and non-resident employees, it is not always possible to directly derive the origin background. Missing data in this respect are imputed using information on someone’s country of permanent residence or someone’s nationality.

Data available from: 2010.

Status of the figures:
The statistics in this table are definite.

Changes as of 22 December 2023:
The final figures for 2022 are added. The figures for 2020 and 2021 have been corrected for the European Union (excluding the Netherlands). Jobs of foreign-born employees from the United Kingdom were accidentally added to the European Union while the United Kingdom left the European Union on 31 January 2020.

When will new figures be published?
New figures for 2023 will be published in the first quarter of 2025.
