the ground The Netherlands economy has been in recession since 2008
and this has impacted confidence within the labour market and
employers are hesitant to hire. Overall there is low demand and
high supply, which takes away the pressure of recruiting for most
employers. Specialist skills are in high demand and talented
international candidates find they are able to work for their
employer of choice. The Netherlands is recognised as an attractive
place to work for cross border professionals, this works as a
short-term solution, but when the economy picks up the domestic
supply of highly-skilled workers needs to be increased. Robert van

4.6 BACKGROUND ECONOMIC DATA KEY FINDING While participation in the
labour market is high, improvements are expected to slow in 2013.
Paradoxically, this contributes the most to upward pressures in the
Netherlands (insofar as they exist at all). Employers accustomed to
a flood of additional labour coming on-line annually may find a
mere trickle this year. Downward pressure from Overall wage

PROFILE The Netherlands, with a score of 4.3, is going through a
period of adjustment. Oxford Economics forecasts a 0.9% contraction
this year, which follows a 1% contraction in 2012. In this
environment, employers may have a relatively easy time of
attracting and retaining the skilled labour they require. The
Netherlands seems to be weathering this adjustment successfully,
considering its unemployment rate is expected to reach just 6.8% in
2013 (up from last years 5.3%) and participation in the labour
market is expected to reach a high not seen in at least two
decades. 0 2.5 5 7.5 10 BREAKDOWN OF SEVEN INDICATOR SCORES
