Vraag1

Extending the naturalization period in the Netherlands from 5 to 10 years could significantly impact the economy, especially in relation to highly skilled migrants. These individuals are crucial for innovation, research, and competitiveness. A longer path to citizenship may discourage them from choosing the Netherlands as their long-term base.

Key Negative Outcomes
1. Reduced Talent Attraction – Skilled professionals may prefer countries with faster access to citizenship.
2. Lower Long-Term Investment – Migrants may delay or avoid buying homes or starting businesses.
3. Less Workforce Stability – Professionals might leave after short contracts instead of building long-term careers.
4. Decline in Innovation – Universities and tech sectors may struggle to attract top global researchers.
5. Loss in Tax Revenue – Fewer high earners staying long-term reduces overall tax contributions.
