Summary
The Dutch workforce is stuck at 9.6 million — not because more people are getting jobs, but because the ranks of those out of work are swelling. Since early 2023, unemployment has climbed from 343,000 to 408,000, fueled by an aging population and migrant groups not yet in the labor force. Add another 3.2 million who aren’t working and aren’t actively seeking jobs — retirees, the sick, and disabled — and you’ve got a workforce plateauing while the sidelines expand, driven by demographics and economic shifts.
