What is a job vacancy for anymore? There aren't any workers, but self-driving machines exist.

Many entrepreneurs seem to be giving up the search for new personnel. They post fewer vacancies and allow robots, AI and other technological gadgets to take over the work, including self-driving machines. The Dutch public employment agency UWV confirms this trend, but says there are still real opportunities to find workers. The article suggests automation is increasingly substituting human labor in various sectors, though the outlook varies by industry and by the type of job, leaving some roles still reliant on human staff.

Is femicide mainly a 'men's problem'?

Publicist and activist Yesim Candan says yes to the question. Lawyer Richard Korver also says yes, but adds that femicide is also a societal problem. The article presents that the issue involves violence against women and reflects broader social dynamics that require attention beyond individual actions. Candan’s stance is quoted as affirmative; Korver likewise supports the claim while stressing that solutions must address cultural and structural factors, not only the perpetrators. In short, the piece frames femicide as both a gendered violence issue and a wider social problem.
