Vacancies Are Becoming Easier to Fill, but Some Sectors Continue to Struggle
Published
The labour market in the Netherlands is set to change in the coming years. According to new forecasts, it will become somewhat easier to fill vacancies by 2030. This is mainly because more people who already have a job are willing to switch employers, and because some companies are getting better at finding staff.
Still, the news is not positive for all sectors. In certain occupational groups, finding new personnel is becoming more difficult. This often applies to sectors where much of the work is physical or technical, and where few young people choose to work. Population ageing also plays a role, as many employees will retire in the coming years.
For job seekers, this means there are good opportunities in some industries. Employers in healthcare, technology and education are therefore already trying to attract new people, for example through training programmes or higher salaries. Whether these measures will be enough remains to be seen in the coming years.
Developments in the labour market therefore remain important to monitor. For both employees and employers, it is essential to respond to these changes in good time.
