2024 Dutch version of the famous Danish "It's Complicated" graph. First generation immigrants are net fiscal negatives at all ages - entirely because of "non-western" immigrants. But at least the Netherlands benefits from... there must be something. (new study, short thread)
This is a very familiar map. Bet you could predict almost all of this with national IQ + selection + obvious adjustment for Afrikaners.
Everyone knows "asylum seekers" are absurdly expensive. But even study migration is a net negative at all ages. Student visas often get a free pass in immigration discussions - people just assume they're fine based on half-remembered recollections from college. But they're not.
Fortunately, after expensive Dutch education and cultural assimilation, the second generation is much better.
Just kidding, they're worse everywhere but East Asia. Partly driven by selective remigration: productive people leave, leeches stick to the teat of the Dutch taxpayer.
Highly educated "Africa-Islamic" migrants are a major drain. Even the best educated Indians/LatinX/East Slavs are only breaking even.
None of this is new - that central and northern Europe have the world's worst migrant welfare problem is well-known, in part because their migrants are so relatively dumb. But it's good to get the refresher anyways.
I wonder if the Netherlands has Muslim child rape gangs targeting white girls like England (paid for by the Dutch taxpayer). By default, I would guess yes, but maybe (hopefully) that's a peculiarity of the particularly nasty variety of Pakistani Britain imported for no reason.
