Figure 1. The year <strong>2017</strong> marked a quarter of a<br />
century of voluntary returns assisted by <strong>IOM</strong> in<br />
the Netherlands. In this period, <strong>IOM</strong> assisted some<br />
61,000 migrants to return voluntarily from the<br />
Netherlands to their country of origin. This number<br />
compares to the population of medium-size Dutch<br />
cities such as Gouda or Assen. Source: <strong>IOM</strong> the<br />
