"With an ageing population, a strict immigration policy, and recent migration trends, the Netherlands could be facing some troubles in the future. While immigration into the country is on the rise, more and more people are emigrating from the country.
Net migration flows for the Netherlands increased significantly in 2006 over 2005. However, a surprising number of people are emigrating from the country, which has outpaced immigration since 2003. Immigration, while on the increase in the last few years, is not particularly high compared with earlier years. The highest recent immigration trend was in 2001, with 133,404 people immigrating to the country that year."
