Below are excerpts from each of these themes in Trends in the Netherlands 2018.
Share of HAVO/VWO students differs widely among municipalities
In academic year 2017/’18, there were nearly 956 thousand secondary students (excluding practical education and special education schools at secondary level). In Year 3 of secondary education, 47.5 percent of the student population were in senior general (HAVO) or pre-university (VWO) education. Especially in the Randstad conurbation and in/around the university cities, there are higher than average shares of students at HAVO/VWO level. In Bloemendaal, Heemstede and Oegstgeest, over 80 percent of secondary students are in HAVO or VWO. The share of HAVO/VWO students is below 35 percent in some northern municipalities.

More fish and cheese shops, fewer greengrocers
The number of specialty food stores hardly changed between 2008 and 2017. However, there were significant changes per sector. For example, there was a 31 percent increase in the number of fish shops during this period. The number of cheese shops increased by 20 percent and the number of health food shops by 18 percent. Many greengrocers (29 percent), butchers (16 percent) and poulterers (8 percent) disappeared from the high street. There were also fewer off-licences (6 percent) and tobacconists (8 percent).
Differences in labour participation by migration background
The difference in employment between people with a non-western migration background and people with a native Dutch background increased during the crisis. Before the crisis, the gap was actually narrowing, as has been the case in recent years. Labour market participation among people with a Surinamese or Antillean migration background in particular has fallen significantly since 2008. Employment levels among people with a Turkish and Moroccan migration background are now almost back to where they were in 2008. The difference between these groups and people with a Dutch background is also practically the same as in that year.
Dutch background (% of population aged 15 to 74 yrs) | Western migration background (% of population aged 15 to 74 yrs) | Morocco (% of population aged 15 to 74 yrs) | Turkey (% of population aged 15 to 74 yrs) | Suriname (% of population aged 15 to 74 yrs) | (Former) Netherlands Antilles, Aruba (% of population aged 15 to 74 yrs) | |
