Record Number of Open Vacancies in Healthcare Sector
Open vacancies in the Dutch healthcare sector reached a record high of 71,000 in the second quarter, driven by demand for social workers, nurses, and caregivers due to aging and high staff turnover. Randstad Nederland reports that while sectors like construction also face shortages, others such as ICT are cooling down. With 450,000 employees absent due to illness and 894,000 disabled, CEO Jeroen Tiel urges better activation of these groups and simpler regulations to address labor market tightness.
