Business environment; knowledge migration compared internationally

This table gives an overview of the knowledge migration flows in a number of lands. Knowledge migration relates to immigrants and emigrants from a country divided into high and non-highly educated. The migration of highly educated (knowledge workers) gives an indication of the degree of international exchange of knowledge. An increase in the number (foreign) knowledge workers in a country have a positive impact on the business environment and increase the attractiveness of innovative activity.

As a result, differences can occur between these figures and national published elsewhere on the CBS website figures.
