Netherlands Faces Economic Losses Over International Student Limits
The Netherlands may incur economic losses of up to €5 billion due to the government's plans to limit international students.
A recent study found that capping international students at five institutions in the Randstad region could reduce the country's GDP by approximately €4-5 billion.
International students are of great value to the Dutch economy… graduates help reduce labour shortages in sectors with high demand for highly educated professionals.
The report highlights that these sectors include business, government, healthcare, and education, and warns that regions, businesses, and society as a whole will feel substantial economic consequences.
