Bye Bye Holland, Bye Bye Germany
Bye Bye HollandFrom the desk of The Brussels Journal A quote from Expatica, 10 November 2006 In the first nine months of this year, almost 100,000 people left the Netherlands to settle elsewhere, 12,000 more than the same period last year. [ ] The net effect means the Dutch population was reduced in the 2004-06 period by 75,000. In the preceding three years, there was a positive net migration of 75,000. Despite the dramatic reversal, the number of immigrants is also on the increase. Bye Bye Germany From the desk of The Brussels Journal A quote from the German weekly Der Spiegel, 10 November 2006 Faced with poor job prospects, high taxes and an intrusive bureaucracy, more and more Germans are choosing to emigrate. Most of those who leave, though, are highly qualified which could mean devastating economic consequences. [...] They are fed up with living in a country where all opportunities already seem to be taken: opportunities to succeed in ones career, to own property and to achieve prosperity.
