Dutch employers are set to miss a legally mandated target to create 125,000 jobs for people with occupational disabilities by 2026. Data from early July indicates that only 92,000 such positions have been realized.
The job quota stems from a strict agreement established by the cabinet in 2013 to improve labor market access for individuals with limitations. While definitive figures are scheduled for release following the summer, current projections suggest the target is virtually out of reach.
As a result of falling short of the agreed-upon total, employers now face the threat of financial penalties.
