The Netherlands has 1.3 million adults who are not entitled to any form of social security benefits, known as nuggers, Trouw reports on Friday.

Nuggers is derived from niet-uitkeringsgerechtigden – or ‘those without rights to benefits’.
The number of people without benefit rights has risen 7% over the past three years, the paper says, and now accounts for 12% of the working population.
While the majority of people involved are women, there is a growing category of young, ethnic minority men. Some 13% of ethnic minority men aged 15 to 45 have no benefits, no job and are not in education, the paper says.
