Some 30 European countries, including the Netherlands, produced identical census tables on 2001. Eventually such census tables will yield a comprehensive socio-demographic and socio-economic view of Europe. Economic activity is a central issue in this book. The authors, most of whom work at Statistics Netherlands 1), discuss the economic activities of families, differences according to family size and composition, individual activity status by region, age, education level and branch of economic activity. There are separate chapters on the economic activities of young people and people of retirement age. The economic activities, levels of education and occupation of foreigners from various countries of origin are compared with each other and with the native Dutch population. Several chapters provide details on the urban developments and social imbalances in the cities of the EU Urban Audit, on the complex relationships between cities and their peri-urban areas, and on commuting. The 2001 Census is compared with earlier Dutch population censuses from as far back as 1795. Furthermore, the Dutch Census is compared with the Census results of eight other European countries. Data from many different sources were combined to produce the Dutch Census Tables of 2001. Since the last census based on a complete enumeration was held, in 1971, the willingness of the population to participate has fallen sharply. Statistics Netherlands has found an alternative in the shape of the Virtual Census, using a combination of available registers and surveys. This puts the Netherlands in a unique position in the European Census Round. The Virtual Census is cheaper, comparable with earlier Dutch censuses, and more socially acceptable. In the last decade Statistics Netherlands has acquired more and more experience with using data from various administrative registers for statistical purposes. This has enabled Statistics Netherlands to develop the Social Statistical Database (SSD). The SSD contains coherent and detailed demographic and socio-economic statistical information on persons and households, for which the population register forms the backbone. In addition, sample surveys are used for information that is not available from registers, such as education level and occupation. The SSD is the main source for the 2001 Census. The Dutch Virtual Census of 2001 7 Compared with the 1991 Census Round, Eurostat and other international organisations required more detailed information for 2001. To meet the requirement of overall numerical consistency in the set of census tables, statistical methodologists at Statistics Netherlands developed a new estimation method: repeated weighting. It is based on the repeated application of a regression method, and it guarantees that the combination of survey and register information results in consistent estimates. The method is discussed in the last chapters of this book. Classifications, definitions and all census tables can be found on the website of Statistics Netherlands 2). The book is intended for researchers at universities, research institutes or statistical agencies, policy makers and the interested general public. I would like to thank the editors Rita Gircour, Marijke Hartgers and Eric Schulte Nordholt for their contribution.

Introduction to the Dutch Virtual Census of 2001 Eric Schulte Nordholt Data from many different sources were combined to produce the Dutch Census Tables of 2001. Since the last census based on a complete enumeration was held in 1971, the willingness of the population to participate has fallen sharply. Statistics Netherlands found an alternative in the Virtual Census, using available registers and surveys. The Virtual Census is cheaper, comparable to earlier Dutch censuses, and more socially acceptable. The Netherlands takes up a unique position in the European Census Round. The table results are not only comparable with the earlier Dutch censuses but also with those of the other countries in the 2001 Census Round. The part on analysis in this book deals with the following topics: key figures, families, working people, young people, seniors, foreign people, and commuting. A historical comparison with earlier Dutch censuses is made and regional distributions are discussed with special attention to ten major cities in the Netherlands. Finally, the results of the 2001 Census in the Netherlands are compared with the results in other European countries. The part on methodology deals with the input, throughput and output phases placing special emphasis on how the new methodology of repeated weighting was applied in producing the set of census tables. 1.1 Introduction In 2003 data were combined to produce the Dutch 2001 census tables. In the Netherlands this was not done by interviewing inhabitants in a complete enumeration, but by using data that Statistics Netherlands already had available. This way, the Dutch tax payer got a much lower census bill. The costs for a traditional census would be about three hundred million euros, while the costs made now are ‘only’ about three million. The estimate includes the costs for all preparatory work such as developing a new methodology and accompanying software. The costs of the registers are not included, but the analyses of the results are. Registers are not kept up-to-date for censuses but for other purposes. Saving money on census costs is only possible in countries that have sufficient register information. As an example we can compare the costs of the Dutch virtual census with the costs of the traditional census that was held in Canada. In Canada the census costs amounted to approximately 450 million euros. Canada has about 31.6 million inhabitants, twice as many as the Netherlands. Statistics Canada justifies the huge census costs by pointing out the enormous implications of the The Dutch Virtual Census of 2001 9 census results for the distribution of money among regions. Moreover, a virtual census would be impossible in Canada because of the lack of sufficient register data. The 2001 Census relates to forty extensive tables. Twenty-eight are about the Netherlands as a whole, nine are at the COROP level (NUTS 3) and three at municipal level (NUTS 5). The forty tables fall into a number of groups. Eight tables concern housing, two tables concern commuting and the other thirty tables are demographic tables, relating to occupation, level of education and economic activity. Additionally, demographic, housing and labour figures are compiled at sub-city district level for ten large cities that participate in Urban Audit II (Statistics Netherlands, 2003). These ten large cities are Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Tilburg, Groningen, Enschede, Arnhem and Heerlen. Except the financial aspect, other important differences exist between a traditional census and the virtual census conducted in the Netherlands. In spite of the mandatory character of a traditional census, a certain part of the population will not participate (unit non-response) and the part that does participate will not answer some questions (item non-response). Correcting non-response by weighting and imputation techniques is well worth trying. A well-known problem with traditional censuses is that participation is limited and selective. Traditional correction methods fall short of the need to be able to publish reliable results. The last traditional census in the Netherlands (in 1971) met with much privacy objections against the collection of integral information about the population living in the Netherlands.

  • RIVM Rapport 270051011 Dare to Compare! Benchmarking Dutch Health with the European Community Health Indicators (ECHI)
    Dare to Compare! Benchmarking Dutch health with the European Community Health Indicators (ECHI) How does public health in the Netherlands compare to public health in other European Union (EU) countries? Are we among the top five or lagging behind? Does the picture change when focusing on specific subjects? This report compares the Netherlands to EU countries along a set of more than eighty European health indicators on, for example, disease, lifestyle and prevention. This is the first time that the indicators that make up the so-called ECHI (European Community Health Indicator) shortlist are used for benchmarking Dutch public health. This shortlist has been adopted by the EU to assist health policy makers in identifying common challenges, priorities and opportunities, and to learn from other countries’ experiences. The systematic benchmark approach also provides a detailed view on the actual availability, comparability and quality of data sets, both within the Netherlands and throughout the EU. It becomes apparent that EU-funded projects and Eurostat activities increasingly contribute to better data quality and more valid comparisons, but much work is still to be done. Dare to Compare! Given the ambition of the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport to get the Netherlands back into the top five of the healthiest European countries, a benchmark is a good exercise to identify possibilities for improvement and issues that require policy attention. This report was commissioned by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. Harbers MM | Van der Wilk EA | Kramers PGN | Kuunders MMAP | Verschuuren M | Eliyahu H | Achterberg PW Dare to Compare!

    2002 INTERIM RESULTS Six months ended 30th June 2002 2002 2001 % change euro m euro m · Sales 4,801 4,496 +7% · Operating profit * 295 296 - · Profit before tax 196 186 +5% euro cent euro cent · Earnings per share - before goodwill amortisation 33.51 32.95 +2% · Earnings per share - after goodwill amortisation 26.78 27.36 -2% · Cash earnings per share 76.59 75.79 +1% · Dividend 7.43 6.75 +10% * Operating profit including share of joint ventures but before goodwill amortisation and profit on disposal of fixed assets. · Operating profit in the Republic of Ireland fell by 8% to euro 60.4 million against a background of a c.10% decline in overall construction activity compared with the first half of last year. Despite volume declines in most products, price improvements and production / supply efficiencies in our cement operations helped maintain margins. · In Britain and Northern Ireland, operating profits fell by 15% to euro 29.5 million, with phased price increases during the period not sufficient to offset higher energy costs for our brick operations, and weaker activity in all sectors in Northern Ireland. · In Mainland Europe, overall operating profits increased by 24% to euro 93.6 million. The results benefited from the incremental impact of inclusion of results from acquisitions and investments, while underlying operations recorded slightly lower profits against a background of weak demand and increased competition in many of our major markets. · Operating profit in The Americas declined by 7% to euro 111.3 million. The impact on the Materials Division of unseasonably wet weather in May and early June, and the continued market weakness affecting our Precast Group, were only partly offset by strong starts to the year by the Architectural Products, Glass and Distribution Groups.

Peter Malcontent Master Coordinator prof. dr. Maarten Prak Bachelor History Master Comparative History Submission Date October 29, 2010 1 Dedicated to my mother, Barbara Citroen-Starzyńska Your ambition and passion for life will befriend and encourage me. Dedykowany do mojej matki, Barbara Citroen-Starzyńska Twojej ambicji i pasji życia będzie mnie pomagać i zachęcić. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis contains an analysis of the decision-making process in the United States and the Netherlands concerning the military intervention in Afghanistan (2001). The research is being implemented through the variables international peace and security, criteria of effectiveness, national and international support, the media and national interests. The question at stake is which of these five variables has been a determinant factor in the decision-making process. The comparative method helps in settling this question. The thesis will demonstrate that national interests are a necessary, but not a sufficient condition in the decision-making process of the United States and the Netherlands regarding the military intervention in Afghanistan (2001). 3 A WORD OF GRATITUDE Throughout my academic career at Utrecht University I have had the advantage of a wide and strong safety net from which I have been able to draw support anytime in need. I want to take this opportunity to thank all my four parents. Every one of them has contributed to this final result by being the person they are and by being an important part of my life.

After record-linkage, 373 of the 780 LD patients identified were notified. Ascertained under-notification was 52.2%. Because of expected and observed regional differences in the incidence rate of LD, alternatively to conventional log-linear capture–recapture models, a covariate (region) capture–recapture model, not previously used for estimating infectious disease incidence, was specified and estimated 886 LD patients (95% confidence interval 827–1022).
