Accurate employment data is crucial for shaping effective labour policies in Belgium. On 2025-05-07 18:59:00, Flemish parliament member Ine Tombeur (N-VA) expressed satisfaction that “correct figures” are now available, ensuring a clearer picture of the workforce. This development is especially important given the target of an 80 percent employment rate.
- Vlaams parlementslid Ine Tombeur tevreden
- Correcte cijfers essentieel voor juiste conclusies
- Doelstelling: 80 procent werkzaamheidsgraad
- Foutieve cijfers schaden VDAB's reputatie
- Noodzaak van nauwkeurige data benadrukt
- VDAB's werk moet correct worden gewaardeerd
Tombeur stressed that relying on incorrect data could lead to misleading conclusions, potentially casting the VDAB’s efforts in an unfairly negative light. How can policymakers make informed decisions without trustworthy numbers? And what impact does this have on Belgium’s labour market strategies?
With accurate employment statistics now accessible, stakeholders can better assess progress and challenges in the Flemish labour market, paving the way for more targeted interventions.
Why do correct figures matter so much? They prevent misinterpretations that could undermine valuable work done by employment agencies like VDAB. This clarity supports:
- More reliable policy-making based on facts
- Fair recognition of VDAB’s contributions
- Enhanced public trust in labour statistics
Looking ahead, maintaining transparency and accuracy in employment data will be key to sustaining progress. Policymakers and agencies alike should continue prioritizing data quality to support Belgium’s labour market ambitions.
