The Netherlands is struggling with massive and widespread staff shortages. As a solution, business organizations VNO-NCW, MKB Nederland, and AWVN suggested that workers put in more hours. According to them, this could both be a short-term solution to staff shortages and boost people’s purchasing power in this time of high inflation.
