[Big-city migration in historical perspective]. / Grootstedelijke migratie in historisch perspectief.

"The migration flows to and from the four largest Dutch municipalities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) show a number of similarities. During the past few decades internal migration has been characterized by a move away from the large cities, while the much smaller international migration flow had an opposite direction. This has resulted in a net decrease of the total population in the largest cities." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Migration to and from sections of Rotterdam]. / Migratiestromen van en naar Rotterdamse wijken.

"The number of people that move to, from or within large cities is, in a relative sense, far greater than the corresponding figure for the other parts of the Netherlands. Big city mobility concerns mostly internal migration. The 1995 migration statistics on sections of Rotterdam show dissimilarities between the different sections of the city with respect to composition and intensity of population flows. This article focuses on the differences between two sections of Rotterdam." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Same-sex cohabitation]. / Samenwoners van gelijk geslacht.

"Little is known about the number of homosexuals [in the Netherlands] in general and about homosexual couples in particular. In the so-called continuous population system information has been collected on all persons in the Netherlands who do not live in a family context. On the basis of a number of assumptions an estimated total of 21.3 thousand couples have been found who may have a homosexual relationship and who are living at the same address. Three out of five of these couples consist of males. Only 2 thousand couples, mostly females, live with one or more children. Half the number of all same-sex couples without children live in the highly urbanised municipalities. These findings correspond with studies on the prevalence of homosexuality." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Asylum seekers: policy and some demographic aspects]. / Asielzoekers: het beleid en enkele demografische aspecten.

"The Dutch policy regarding asylum seekers requires a stay of a few months in special centres where they have to remain pending the result of the asylum request.... Taking into account that the huge inflow of asylum seekers in the special centres in 1994 (more than 45 thousand) will also have an impact on the number of immigrants in 1995, the number of immigrants who requested asylum can be estimated. In this article a simple method of short-term prediction is presented. Assuming that the outflow of asylum seekers to municipalities in 1995 will show the same pattern as in 1994 and that the total inflow of asylum seekers in the special centres will not surpass 30 thousand, a total of about 19 thousand asylum seekers will become immigrants in 1995."
