This statistic shows the total number of emigrants in the Netherlands from 2001 to 2011, by ethnic origin. It reveals that the total number of emigrants increased for each category between 2001 and 2011, but that the increase was neither constant nor even. Both the ethnic Dutch and non-Western non-ethnic Dutch groups saw decreasing numbers of emigrants between 2006 and 2009/2010. The number of Western non-ethnic Dutch emigrants on the other hand increased continuously. Although the ethnic Dutch formed the majority of the emigrants in 2001, by 2011 they were outnumbered both by Western non-ethnic Dutch and non-Western non-ethnic Dutch emigrants.

Emigration including administrative corrections. The total of the administrative corrections is the sum of the administrative inclusions minus the administrative removals.
Administrative inclusion means that a person is included in the municipality administration at his/her own request. This is not the result of a birth, immigration or relocation to another municipality, and is usually the case with people who have been administratively removed even though they had never left the country. Administrative removal means that persons are removed from the municipality bookkeeping because the municipality cannot reach the person, has no information regarding his/her whereabouts and this person is no longer living in this municipality. This is usually the case with people leaving the country without informing the municipality.
