So they went here in the 1960s, for example, the Philips factory,
Ford factory, Milk Union and Dutch plant cold cuts work. Without them the
Dutch economy never as strong as it is now. Now there are about
380 thousand Moroccans in the Netherlands and most of these migrants
retired. In relationship is there in this community talk of more
health problems, they receive relatively more likely to have a benefit and/or life
more frequently in relative poverty.
Today more than 180 different nationalities live in Netherlands.
They all have their own customs, habits and backgrounds. Everyone
who lives here, has his own reason why he or she is to Netherlands

is historically rooted. The identity and urban culture of Rotterdam, Utrecht,
The Hague and Amsterdam are closely intertwined with the employment history. That we see
