The Netherlands is happy with the improving economy. But employers are now also experiencing the downside. Care, construction, education, ICT and technology: they can all no longer deny the shortage on the labor market. A direct result of economic growth, but also of aging and hazing.
Labor shortage
A shortage of technical functions such as plumbers, electricians and maintenance technicians will no longer surprise you. The same applies for system developers and programmers with knowledge of specific programming languages (e.g. net and java). However, education, healthcare, catering and the transport sector can now also be added to this list. Even construction, a sector that until recently had a crisis, suffers from a shortage of skilled workers. The growing demand for masons and carpenters stems from the improving housing market.
