Abstract
Since 2017 Statistics Netherlands has been working on the development of a network covering the entire Dutch population. Based on various administrative sources the network contains the following types of relations between all Dutch residents for the period 2009-2021: household members, family, neighbours, colleagues and class-mates. This gives a broad view of the social context in which persons operate. The network has been used in various studies both by Statistics Netherlands and by external researchers (through the remote access facilities) and resulted in various publications on, for example, infectious diseases, crime, and segregation. We will give an overview of the network and how it is used in some of these publications.
