Migration Skill Corridor Briefs

Morocco – Netherlands

Drawing on 27 stakeholder interviews and desk research, this brief analyses the Morocco-Netherlands migration corridor from a skills perspective. It characterises the corridor as a post–guest worker corridor with strong historical roots but limited contemporary mobility. Labour migration, and particularly skilled migration, remains marginal.Notably, negative feedback mechanisms within these networks contribute to declining migration dynamics. While it holds potential for skilled migration, skills development and private-sector involvement, the corridor is currently best conceptualised as an underutilised opportunity for fostering skill mobility.
