Fighting social fraud: stronger controls

When some get around the rules, it is honest workers and businesses that pay the price. Inspections against social fraud are being stepped up, with more inspectors and targeted action against social dumping, particularly in sensitive sectors such as transport. The result: fewer abuses, fairer working conditions and fairer competition for all.

Limiting unemployment benefits to 2 years

Getting back into work faster, with stronger support: that is the aim of this unemployment reform. Benefits are now limited in time, with a maximum duration of two years and a gradual reduction, to encourage a return to work. At the same time, jobseekers are directed more towards training, retraining and personalised follow-up, with the CPAS taking over where necessary. The result: a system refocused on employment, more active support and more bridges into the labour market.
