Municipality of Amsterdam
Department of Research, Information and Statistics (OIS)
Jeroen Slot, head of this department, immediately welcomed the investigation enthusiastically and promised all support.
Hester Booi, who specializes in migration, provides us with the most up-to-date information and figures. As a result, for example, we always kept a good eye on the effects of corona on the influx and outflow of residents.
