ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION
AND DEVELOPMENT

The OECD is a unique forum where governments work together to address the economic, social and
environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to
help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the
information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting
where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good
practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies.
The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Colombia, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel,
Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom
and the United States. The European Union takes part in the work of the OECD.
OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the Organisation’s statistics gathering and
research on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the conventions, guidelines and
standards agreed by its members.

OECD Economic Surveys

NETHERLANDS
The Netherlands is experiencing strong growth and tight labour markets, with favourable economic prospects
and sound public finances. But there are downward financial risks to the economic outlook and the country
is exposed to Brexit. Looking forward, reforms are needed to move toward a more inclusive society in the
context where digitalisation and globalisation will alter the functioning of the economy. The tax system needs
to be streamlined to support growth, without increasing inequality. Labour-market inclusiveness could also be
enhanced along several dimensions. A combination of tax and regulatory reforms would ensure a better job
quality for the self-employed and workers on temporary contracts without discouraging these types of work.
There is also scope to reduce the large gender gap in part time work and enhance skills of vulnerable workers.

Finally, adressing population ageing will also require reforms to occupational pension plans and ensuring an
adequate supply fo health professionals.
