Matching labour migrants with labour demand in the Dutch economy

This chapter examines three aspects of matching labour migrants with labour demand in the Netherlands: how is the selection of highly skilled labour migrants affected by the use of salary thresholds in the knowledge migrant programme? Is the Dutch top sector approach reflected in the distribution of migrants over sectors? Have regions in the periphery of the Netherlands attracted their fair share of labour migrants? Most analyses in this chapter include EU/EFTA as well as non-EU/EFTA migrants, but particular attention is given to highly skilled migrants.
