Also called migrant workers.

Former colonies

Seasonal workers
Rapid growth after 2004, because many countries in Eastern Europe became EU member states.

Circular migration = migration 
between the home country and another country for work.

Within a year = seasonal migration.

Essence
The population of the Netherlands includes four distinct groups of immigrants. Firstly, guest workers from Morocco and Turkey who have stayed in our country. Secondly, people from former colonies: Indonesia, Surinam and the Dutch Antilles. Thirdly, refugees, who fled from different places around the world where it was unsafe. Fourthly, circular and seasonal migrants from Eastern Europe, of which most decide not to stay in the Netherlands.

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Aren’t we all descended from migrants?
It is not only during recent decades that people have arrived in our country; for centuries and millennia before, people came to the area we now call the Netherlands. Around the beginning of the era, it was the Romans and during the Middle Ages, it was the Saxons. Later on, Portuguese, Spanish, German and French people came to the Netherlands. Maybe one of your ancestors from long ago was in one of these groups of people!
