As far as I know, the immigrant population in the Netherlands is still rising, including immigrants from Muslim countries.<br /><br />I have seen evidence that Somalis have been migrating to the UK from the rest of Europe, but I think that was some years ago and doesn't explain the most recent drop.Aslakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813371594062969329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949676.post-28672050332862964792009-08-04T08:43:38.154+00:002009-08-04T08:43:38.154+00:00I am a little confused as to whether the decline i...I am a little confused as to whether the decline in Dutch Muslims is related to the decline in mosque attendance (i.e. while some are going less to mosques, some are going a step futher and no longer identifying as Muslims) or if they are relocating - posibly to other EU states.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949676.post-50260517924437214762009-08-02T22:01:53.510+00:002009-08-02T22:01:53.510+00:00Thanks for the article, it really is a good overvi...Thanks for the article, it really is a good overview over a lot of things that's causing ultra-low fertility in East Asia. I would have liked to see more details about the policies, but the things they mentioned are broadly the things you want to do.
