Employment
Expats are an essential component of the Dutch workforce, and office life has its cultural quirks
- The Dutch workforce is internationally oriented, highly educated and multilingual
- Unemployment is at 3,6 percent
- Demand for highly skilled workers remains high, and incentives for international employees include the 30 percent ruling tax benefit and a fast-track immigration programme for the highly skilled and entrepreneurs.
- While it always helps to learn the language when settling in a new country – and will certainly do your job prospects no harm – you don’t necessarily need to be a fluent Dutch speaker to secure a role in the Netherlands.
