Gov't pushing through with much cheaper childcare in 2027 despite staff shortages

NL Times  

The Dutch government is pushing through with its plan to introduce almost free childcare for working parents in 2027, despite the growing staff shortages in the sector. The previous Cabinet also wanted to introduce almost free childcare but postponed the measure due to the staff shortage.

The State Secretaries are working on measures to prevent price increases and to tackle staff shortages, including a subsidy scheme to encourage employees to work more hours.
