History

The Dutch had a significant effect on the development of trade in Finland. Many of them settled permanently in Finland. They also had high positions in the administration of large cities.[2]

Demographics

79.8% of the Dutch immigrants in Finland are men.[3] 663 Dutch men are in a registered relationship with a Finnish woman. There are 1,082 male Dutch citizens, which means that over 61% of Dutch men in Finland are in a registered relationship with a Finnish woman.[4] 148 Dutch citizens were naturalized between 1990 and 2017, with 22 in 2017. A total of 5,394 people immigrated from the Netherlands to Finland between 1990 and 2017, with 275 in 2017.[5] Over 400 Dutch immigrants live in Helsinki and over 200 in Espoo.[6] There are 541 Finnish-Dutch dual citizens.[7] 52% are non-religious and 48% are Christian.[citation needed]
