Labor migration has been a major issue in the Netherlands for years. The government wants to gain better control over the number of migrant workers, but at the same time, they are desperately needed due to the labor shortage.

Programme

Speaker: Prof. Olaf van Vliet (Leiden University)
Moderator: Michel Michaloliakos

Current Events Lecture in The Hague presented by LeidenGlobal, Studium Generale Leiden, and the Hague Institute for Geopolitics (GeopolitiekNu).

In this current affairs lecture in The Hague, Prof. Dr. Olaf van Vliet will discuss the consequences of labor migration and how the government can influence them. The lecture will also examine possible measures, such as policies for labor migrants from outside the EU and measures related to employment, the economy, and regions. Finally, the question will be addressed: what can we expect on this topic around Prinsjesdag?

Following a brief analysis by Prof. Van Vliet (Leiden University), there will be ample opportunity for discussion and the exchange of ideas. Moderated by Michel Michaloliákos (GeopolitiekNu), attendees will be able to ask questions, share experiences, and engage in conversation about the future of labor migration in the Netherlands.
