3.5.1 Contract type and human resourcesIn 2002, the port staff as a whole comprised 60.5 p.c. blue-collar workers and 39.5 p.c. white-collar staff, asopposed to 61.8 p.c. and 38.2 p.c. in the previous year.GRAPH 2HOURS WORKED AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNAL HUMANRESOURCES 31Total no. of hours (in millions)160,0140,0120,0100,080,060,040,020,00,02000 2001 2002 2000 2001 2002 2000 2001 2002Full-time hours worked Part-time hours worked Total hours worked5 000,04 000,03 000,02 000,01 000,00,0Associated costs (in millions of euros)No. hours worked(constant sample)Costs associated with hours worked(constant sample)Source: NBB.For the companies under review as a whole, an increase was seen from 103,051 FTE in 2000 to 106,199 FTE in2001, falling back to 102,942 FTE in 2002 (table 3). This change can also be seen at the level of full-time hoursworked (constant sample), which increased from 131.6 million in 2000 to 132.8 million in 2001, before falling backto 130.2 million in 2002 (graph 2). Part-time employment developed in a different way, increasing consistentlyfrom 2000 to 2002. In 2002, it totalled 6.5 million hours, an increase of 17.4 p.c. against the previous year –exceeding the national average -, while full-time work fell, in these same terms, by 2.0 p.c. But full-timeemployment still accounts for 93.4 p.c. of total port employment (in FTE), above the national average (88.7 p.c.)Staff costs increased for both full-time and part-time employment. In 2002, despite the fact that the number of fulltimehours worked fell, these costs continued to rise due, particularly, to expenditure related to early retirement(see table 5). Staff costs increased from 4.6 billion euro in 2000 to 4.9 billion in 2002 (+ 8.3 p.c., an increaseabove the 2.2 p.c. rate of inflation for domestic producer prices recorded between 2000 and 2002 32 ). Turning tostaff costs associated with part-time work, these rose from 157.6 to 316.4 million euro in two years. Thisrepresents an increase of 100.7 p.c. for this period 33 .313233Term covering employees recorded in the personnel register of the companies under review.Source: Belgostat online.This increase, which appears disproportionate compared to the increase in part-time hours worked, stems from the cargohandling sector (see annex 7). This sudden rise is explained in the accounts of C.E.P.A.14 NBB WORKING PAPER No.56 - JUNE 2004

The costs associated with these services increased at current prices from 107.9 to118.3 million euro in two years (+ 9.7 p.c., an increase above the 2.2 p.c. rate of inflation for domestic producerprices recorded between 2000 and 2002). The number of hours worked by staff placed at the disposal of thecompanies rose from 10.3 million hours in 2000 to 11.2 million hours in 2002. The costs associated with theseservices continued to rise in 2002, reaching 379.9 million euro, an increase of 9.8 p.c. compared to 2000.3.5.2 Entries and departures of personnelFor the ports as a whole, net employment fell in 2002, due more to the decline in the number of jobs created(graph 4), than to job cuts. Indeed, fewer jobs were cut in 2002, but this movement was not enough to counter thenet reduction in the workforce (see graph 7). This was particularly the case in the chemicals, metal-working andcar manufacturing industries, as well as in fishing. Whilst 20,549 FTE were still being created in 2000, this figurefell to 18,470 FTE and 15,143 FTE respectively over the next two years, the fall in 2002 amounting to 18.0 p.c. Asfar as contracts for an indefinite period are concerned, a slight decrease was noted initially, from 10,603 FTE in2000 to 10,519 FTE in 2001. 2002 saw a fall of 20.9 p.c. with regard to these contracts as only 8,326 FTE werecreated.Based on these last results, it can be deduced that the creation of fixed-term posts is also in decline (- 14.3 p.c. in2002), in contrast to the creation of part-time employment.34Category encompassing temporary staff and staff placed at the disposal of the companies under review.NBB WORKING PAPER No. 56 - JUNE 2004 15
