Abstract
Countries of destination can conveniently be divided into five general categories:
-
(1)
Other European countries, of which only France is here discussed in detail.
-
(2)
Countries with a Western culture to which Dutch emigration has been increasing and may increase more: Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
-
(3)
The United States, to which only a small Dutch emigration is possible because of its fixed-quota system.
-
(4)
Countries to which Dutch emigration is restricted to those with high skills: South Africa, Indonesia, and to some degree Brazil and Argentina.
-
(5)
Countries with a primitive economy offering large possibilities for settlement, but only if capital becomes available: New Guinea, the rest of Africa, and to some degree Latin America. Very little recent emigration can be classified in this category; it concerns, rather, long-term potential emigration.
