Internationalisation of the labour market and the economy
In recent years, Decisio has carried out a wide range of studies on international communities in the Netherlands. The Dutch economy is growing, and the demand for workers is substantial. Companies increasingly rely on international knowledge workers and labour migrants to meet this growing labour demand. These international employees stay in the Netherlands for shorter or longer periods, which brings a variety of challenges. Using data from the Monitor Internationals as a foundation, Decisio advises municipalities, provinces, ministries, and school boards on housing, the economy, and education.
Monitor Internationals
Since 2014, Decisio has maintained the Monitor Internationals, developed
in-house. At the municipal level, we provide insights into:
Numbers andtrends: the number and development (since 2010) of international residents and workers in a region, distinguishing between the following groups:
International knowledge workers
Labour migrants
Income-dependent partners
International students
International children
Status holders
Displaced Ukrainians
International self-employed workers (ZZP’ers)
Characteristics: for each group, we map characteristics such as:
Employment sector
Income
Age
Length of stay
Household composition
Annual inflow and outflow
Nationality
Commuting patterns
Seasonal peaks
GIS Analyses: in addition to municipal-level data, Decisio has access to data at postcode, neighbourhood, and district levels. This allows us to create visually appealing maps and identify relevant developments within municipal boundaries.
Projections: by combining data with scientific insights, WLO scenarios, and statistical methods, we map expected developments up to 2050.
Our monitor contains data from 2010 onwards and is based on CBS Microdata. Using CBS Microdata, Decisio has produced, among others, the following reports:
Examples of internationally related research themes
1. Housing issues for labour migrants
Economic growth has contributed to housing shortages in the Netherlands. Labour migrants also need a place to live. Suitable temporary or more permanent housing is not always available for this growing group. This sometimes leads to temporary solutions, such as living in holiday parks or commercial buildings, while from multiple perspectives it is desirable to organise housing for labour migrants in a more structural way, both in the short and long term. It is therefore important to approach the housing issue surrounding labour migrants from both an economic and a housing perspective.
2. International education
Due to the increasing internationalisation of the Dutch labour market, demand for international education has grown in recent years. In ten years, the number of pupils in international schools has more than doubled. Dutch education is also becoming increasingly internationalised. Against this backdrop, Decisio conducts projection studies on the (regional) development of the number of international children, as well as market and feasibility studies for international schools.
3. International companies and organisations
The importance of international organisations (such as NGOs or embassies) and companies in the Netherlands is growing. These organisations bring international expertise, employment, and spending to the country, and they contribute to an attractive business climate, international reputation, knowledge development, and cultural diversity. However, keeping the Netherlands attractive for international organisations and companies also depends on government investments. This raises the recurring question of what benefits these investments bring to local residents. Decisio has extensive experience in clarifying the economic significance of international organisations and companies for society, including through economic impact and feasibility studies.
