Author:Dutch today Time:2022.08.17

Last year, more people moved from the RANDSTAD (including the four major city agglomerations in the Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Hague, and Udechi) to other places, and relocated 75,000 people. About 53,000 people moved from other parts of the Netherlands to RANDSTAD.

Since 2014, the number of people moved from Randstad has been increasing. The CBS of the Dutch Central Statistics Bureau said that the number of people moved out in 2021 increased by 5,000 compared with the previous year.

In the past few years, more and more people aged 30 to 60 have left Randstad, and young people aged 18 to 25 often move to RANDSTAD. "They will go to RANDSTAD to study, work, and enjoy all the convenience provided by big cities," said Tanja Traag, chief sociologist CBS.

"Enshrize outside the big city circle"

"Since the age of 30, people have been away from Randstad. People settled down, having children, at this stage of life, they also have housing requirements that are not easy to obtain in RANDSTAD." Traag said. Garden, stay away from the crowded crowd. "

Especially in areas near Randstad, more and more residents from Randstad are. For example, Schouwen-Duiveland, VELUWE, and some cities in Northern Netherlands. "These people usually continue to work in RandStad, but live farther," Traag said.

Randstad is still growing

However, there are regions far away from RANDSTAD to attract a large number of RANDSTAD residents, such as DRENTHE, Friesland, Achterhoek, and Groningen. "These people are usually older groups. They no longer need to work in the workplace for 40 hours."

These numbers involve the relocation of the Netherlands. Although many people leave RANDSTAD, the population of Randstad is still growing sharply because a large number of people from outside the Netherlands come here to live, and the number of births in the area is more than the number of deaths.
