The last reform, started in 2011 and operational since 2014, further strengthened the federalisation of the country. Belgium has three tiers of SNGs: 6 federated states, including 3 regional governments (Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels capital-region) and 3 community governments (Flemish, German, and French Speaking Communities) which overlap territorially; 10 provinces; and 589 municipalities which are governed by regional legislation.

  • Lowering Employment Barriers in Belgium and Norway
    OECD Jobs Strategy Implementation Note February 2020 Identifying and addressing employment barriers in Belgium and Norway Implementing the OECD Jobs Strategy Rodrigo Fernandez, Alexander Hijzen, Daniele Pacifico and Stefan Thewissen OECD Jobs Strategy Implementation Note February 2020 Identifying and addressing employment barriers in Belgium and Norway Implementing the OECD Jobs Strategy Rodrigo Fernandez, Alexander Hijzen, Daniele Pacifico and Stefan Thewissen Abstract The OECD actively supports countries with the implementation of the OECD Jobs Strategy, amongst others through the preparation of Jobs Strategy Implementation Notes. This note documents analytical work carried out to complement the 2019 Economic Surveys for Belgium and Norway and support these countries in their endeavour of promoting quality employment. The note documents joblessness in OECD countries, provides a detailed diagnosis of employment barriers in Belgium and Norway by applying the OECD Faces of Joblessness methodology and discusses the policy implications. Contacts: [email protected]; [email protected] │ 1 Introduction About a quarter of the working-age population across OECD countries is not in employment, education or full-time training. An additional tenth of the working-age population has a weak attachment to the labour market, as exemplified by restricted hours, intermittent jobs, or very low earnings. Individuals in these situations often face barriers that prevent them from fully engaging in employment. These barriers can include weak employability due to limited work readiness (low work-related skills, education or a lack of work experience) or work availability (care responsibilities or health-related limitations); a lack of motivation if work does not “pay”; and scarce opportunities due to insufficient job creation (Figure 1) (OECD, 2015[1]).

Date: 2019 Access Date: May 1, 2019 Publishing Company: SAGE Publications, Inc. City: Thousand Oaks, Print ISBN: 9781483317755 Online ISBN: 9781483317731 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781483317731.n96 Print pages: 337-339 © 2019 SAGE Publications, Inc. All Rights Reserved. This PDF has been generated from SAGE Knowledge. Please note that the pagination of the online version will vary from the pagination of the print book. SAGE SAGE Reference © 2019 by SAGE Publications, Inc. Belgium is a multicultural, polyethnic, and multilingual state in Western Europe. Due to its location at the Ro- mance-Germanic language border, it hosts and officially recognizes different cultural communities divided by language. The Dutch-speaking community or Flanders in the north and the French-speaking community or Wallonia in the south are the two main communities. A small German-speaking community is located on the German border. The region of Brussels is Dutch–French bilingual. Furthermore, numerous migration flows from southern Europe, North and Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, and Asia have had a strong impact on—and still are complexifying—social customs, local cultures, and cultural production, both in the main- stream and nonmainstream. Music reflects such complexity by representing Belgium’s diverse sociocultural geography, by conveying the images and symbols of the different traditions, languages, and ideas present in the country.
