Abstract

The “Dutch Model” has attracted wide international attention for its presumed ability to reduce unemployment, introduce market incentives in the former public domain, and maintain essential provisions of the welfare state. This paper documents and evaluates policy changes, labor market performance, and welfare reform, with emphasis on the institutional framework, its continuity, and the reforms themselves.
