2017 Annual review : Migration and Asylum in the Netherlands

The 2017 Annual Review provides an insight into the most important developments in the migration and asylum policy of the Netherlands in 2017. Topics addressed in this review are legal migration, international protection (asylum), unaccompanied minors and other vulnerable groups, civic integration, irregular migration, return, measures addressing trafficking in human beings, and migration and development. The Annual Review has been compiled by the Research & Analysis Department and is largely based on desk research. Experts have provided input for the different themes. In 2017, relatively few major policy changes were made as a result of the elections on 25 March 2017 and the subsequent lengthy government formation. This resulted in there being a care-taker government for a large part of the year (March-October).
