Flexible Work Surge in Netherlands

The Netherlands is experiencing a major shift in work culture as flexible jobs surge—2.7 million workers now on on-call or temp gigs, up 63,000 from last year. This reverses a previous decline, while permanent jobs rose slower. Meanwhile, self-employed numbers dropped 88,000 for the fifth straight quarter, tied to tax crackdowns on fake freelancing. Over 1 million now work on-call, including a surprising number of older workers. Starting 2028, zero-hour contracts will vanish for most, replaced by guaranteed hour limits—except for students, young workers, and retirees.
