GroenLinks-PvdA plans will halve poverty; VVD scores badly in reducing unemployment

NL Times  

The plans of GroenLinks-PvdA will halve poverty in the Netherlands, according to the Central Planning Office’s calculation of the parties’ election manifesto. Despite these billions in additional expenditure, the left-wing party’s plans will improve the government finances, partly thanks to a new millionaires’ tax that yields over 9 billion euros. Government expenditure will increase by almost 20 billion euros in the left-wing party’s plans. That means the party scores relatively well compared to the other parties, although its left-wing rival GroenLinks-PvdA provides 0.4 percent extra economic growth. The CPB calculations show that the VVD wants to “limit development cooperation to the provision of emergency aid, mandatory international contributions, and reception in the region.” The Ministry of Education will lose 1.3 billion euros of its budget, and another 1.3 billion euros will be cut from public administration.
