In the last two decades, the level of employment in the Netherlands has<br />
increased by more than 30%. The strong growth in jobs is largely due to<br />
the structural economic reforms that have been implemented. The lack of<br />
unrest in the labour market - there are relatively few strikes in the<br />
Netherlands - is also a contributory factor as regards maintaining a<br />
favourable business climate. Thanks to the firm growth in employment, a<br />
large proportion of the potential working population is in work. Indeed,<br />
the proportion is considerably greater than the average of the OECD<br />
countries.<br />
