Updated Dutch labour market forecasts

New ROA Factsheet

 

Higher forecasted economic growth is expected to lead to an increase in job creation on the Dutch labour market until 2028. ROA’s forecasting model predicts more employment growth for the vocational education level, compared to previous forecasts. Bachelor’s and Master’s level graduates are expected to face lower job growth. We also show that several existing frictions in the Dutch labour market are expected to become even larger in the coming years.

The factsheet, published by ROA (@maastrichtuniversity school of business and economics) elaborates on the labour market prospects for future graduates, the bottlenecks in personnel recruitment for employers, and the role of skills in job creation.
