The Netherlands’ Labour Law & Employment Regulations

The Netherlands is a key centre within the global business network, as validated by its position as the 2nd most connected economy in the world (DHL, 2024). Its core distribution points include the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port, and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, the 3rd largest cargo airport in Europe.

GDP grew by 0.6% in 2024, and is projected to rise to 1.6% in 2025 and 2026, driven by improving global trade (OECD, 2024). Private consumption is expected to strengthen, supported by a boost in real income as wages catch up to past peak inflation. This indicator suggests a positive trajectory for the Dutch economy, and ease of doing business in the Netherlands.
