Labour market

Conditions are tight on the labour market in the Netherlands. Companies have to make a big effort to recruit personnel. The West Brabant region, however, is a positive exception in this respect!

The working population of over 270,000 people is relatively young and well-trained. Hence an excellent labour market for companies. In addition there is also a very sizeable labour potential (total approximately 60,000 people!). This labour potential includes, amongst others, 25,000 commuters, residents of West Brabant who work in the southern Randstad. Ask them where they would like to work and many will answer that they would prefer to have a job near where they live.  This is consequently a labour reservoir of which new companies can take advantage! Furthermore, the participation rate of women on the labour market is relatively low, but increasingly more women are opting to go to work.

  Recent experiences at call-centres such as Ben and ABN-Amro, and ICT companies such as Brunel IT indicate that recruiting suitable personnel is no problem in West Brabant!

Another plus point of this region is the relatively favourable labour costs that, for the commercial services sector, are 7% lower when compared with the national average. One more reason for opting for West Brabant!

Companies who are looking at the possibilities of locating in the region West Brabant are interested in the labour market. Therefore, REWIN has given the famous research bureau Ecorys the assignment to make a labour market analysis of West Brabant.
