More than 2,000 Dutch have now left Netherlands New Guinea in he last 12 months, a Hollandia correspondent reported in August.
As a result, there are 1,600 vacancies in the Administration, which las created a serious shortage of trained personnel.
The correspondent reported that about two-thirds of Europeans work ig on “short contracts” of three years do not return to NNG after heir home leave.
More than half of the office workers employed by private com anies have left NNG in the first half of this year, and more than 30 er cent, of the technical people.
Of the people who have left, almost 700 of them flew out in special barter aircraft organised between January and July this year.
