Open your eyes: the economy will stall without migrant workers
Open your eyes: we are increasingly dependent on labor migrants, and the idea of displacement in the labor market is long outdated. It concerns work that Dutch people do not want or cannot do. This staff shortage is expected to be filled by an additional 50,000 migrants annually.
But, says NOS, we will have to do everything we can to remain attractive to labor migrants, because without them 'the economy will come to a standstill'.
The Netherlands is pricing itself out of the market, especially in the area of housing. FHS recognizes the importance of clean and safe housing that meets the SNF quality mark, and calls for people to open their eyes: we cannot do without labor migrants, and they cannot do without good housing. It is therefore in the general interest to create more good housing for this indispensable population group.
