TOGETHER ABROAD JOB BOARD NEWS WEEK 20, 2012

Every person receiving benefits must speak Dutch. This was stated by the VVD in a government proposal which will be submitted by Member of Parliament Cora van Nieuwenhuizen next Tuesday.
The VVD is of the opinion that people on social security should be able to speak Dutch at least as well as those integrating into Dutch society. According to the proposal, social security payment will be reduced to 80 percent should there be a reasonable suspicion that the person involved does not speak Dutch. After 6 months that percentage becomes 60 percent and if, after a period of one year he or she still has not reached a certain level of Dutch, benefits will be stopped completely.

5 thousand fewer unfilled vacancies. Decrease in manufacturing, hotels and restaurants, care and finance. Number of filled vacancies also down
According to figures released today by Statistics Netherlands, there were 118 thousand job vacancies at the end of March 2012, after correction for seasonal effects. This is 5 thousand fewer than at the end of the previous quarter.
The decrease was reported in manufacturing, hotels and restaurants, care, and financial institutions. There was a slight fall in the number of job vacancies in these sectors. Numbers of vacancies in other sectors of industry remained stable.
Changes in the number of unfilled job vacancies depend on the number of new vacancies and the number of vacancies filled. In the first quarter of 2012, 169 thousand jobs fell vacant, 28 thousand fewer than in the same period last year. In the previous quarter the decrease in the number of jobs falling vacant was 14 thousand. The number of vacancies filled was also substantially smaller than twelve months previously. This would seem to indicate a decrease in labour markets dynamics.
