Migration, International and Regional Mobility

The research within this theme covers multiple forms of geographical mobility in the labour market and in education, as well as the associated demographic and economic developments. The ROA investigates the flows and associated motives for various forms of both domestic and foreign migration. Domestic migration mainly concerns labour mobility between regions within the Netherlands and the choice of study programmes in different regions. With regard to foreign migration and international mobility, we conduct research into labour migration, study migration and mobility between border regions of neighbouring countries, among other things.
