A simplification of the employment landscape for the benefit of recipients

Local employment agencies must once again become a springboard into work. Getting stuck is limited in time, hourly pay rises from €4.10 to €6 per hour, and transitional measures secure the service in 2026. The aim: to make these agencies a genuine lever back into employment rather than a dead-end system.
