As Mr Petersen points out in this study, since the war there has
been a very strong belief in the Netherlands that emigration is
necessary. Even those who never before occupied themselves with
these matters now speak of the large natural increase, the
overpopulation, and the lack of opportunities in the Netherlands.
Thousands are considering the possibility of leaving their home
land and creating a new existence for themselves overseas. It is a
mistake to suppose, however, that these ideas stem from the special
demographic and economic conditions that arose in the Netherlands
since the war; the opposite is the case. From this point of view,
there has never been less reason for emigrating during the past
decades than in these postwar years. As far as the demographic
situation is concerned, by 1930 the natural increase had decreased
markedly as compared with the preceding decades, so that the number
of young persons entering the labor market after the war has been
relatively small. On the other hand, there have been more openings
in industry and in other sectors of the economy than ever before,
so that unemploy ment pretty much disappeared. Only in 1951 did it
again become at all significant."
