Moroccan Aging in the Netherlands
The Moroccan community residing in the Netherlands has experienced significant demographic changes. The number of Moroccans aged 55 and above rose to 70,600 in 2024, doubling the figure from 2012, which was 35,900. Morocco ranks fourth among the countries of origin for elderly migrants in the Netherlands, after Suriname, Indonesia, and Turkey. Additionally, elderly migrants now constitute 12% of the senior population in Dutch society, up from 9% twelve years earlier. Despite their long-standing historic presence in the Netherlands, data shows that 20% of elderly Moroccans have been living below the minimum social support threshold for the past four years, due to delayed retirement and declining income. However, familial ties remain strong, with their children living on average about 7.4 kilometers away.
