More working women

CBS reported that the number of working women has increased more over the past decade than the number of employed men.
In the second quarter of 2015 the population of active women was 3.8 million comparing to 3.4 million in 2005. There were 4.5 million men to work against 4.4 million ten years ago.

Last year the number of working women fell to under 3.8 million. Especially the number of women employed in health and welfare fell. In the previous year the increase among women was relatively strong, so the number of working women again rose above 3.8 million. However, three quarters of women were working part-time, while among men - just a quarter. In the second quarter there were 84 thousand women and 24 thousand more men employed than in the same quarter a year earlier. 

Compared to 2005 there were 462 thousand working women from 45 to 75 years. This is partly because there are more and more people over 45, partly because they are often keepsworking until a late age and the labor participation therefore increases. The number of employed or unemployed persons in the population (gross employment rate) in women aged 45 to 75 years has increased to just over half. For men, the gross labor eased, but with two out of three is still much higher than in women. Because of the aging population is shrinking just the number of people aged 25 to 45 years in paid employment. The decrease in the number of employed women was weaker than men. This is because the gross employment rate in this age group for men since the crisis was virtually unchanged but decreased. Until 2008 the employment rate and the number of employed increased among 25-45-year-olds.

The growth in the number of working women in the last year was accounted for by women aged 15 to 25 years and from 45 to 75 years. The number of women in education and with a prudential or administrative personnel increased in all ages relatively strongly. For young women in particular, the number of sales staff in retail is working strongly. This group represents almost half of all young women with commercial appeal. For women from 45 to 75 years, the growth was also high in the service professions, such as catering.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
