Relatively few international knowledge workers in the Netherlands

Over the past fifteen years, the share of international knowledge workers in the Netherlands has grown from 2.7 to 4.2 percent of the labor force. In Belgium that percentage is around 7 and in the United Kingdom around 9. In Germany, the share of knowledge workers was lower between 2003 and 2005 than in the Netherlands, but not anymore.

The big outlier is Luxembourg, where more than a quarter of the labor force consists of international knowledge workers. In the last resort in Finland it is less than 2 percent of the working population.
