The latest figures from pr-eDICT, the labour market dashboard for ICT professionals, show that the number of ICT professionals in the Netherlands continues to rise. While in 2018 there were 477,000 ICT professionals working in the country, this number increased by 9% in 2019 to 520,000. Currently, almost 6% of the Dutch labour force consists of ICT professionals. This share has steadily increased over the past years, with ICT professionals accounting for only 4% of the labour force a decade ago.
An interesting observation is that the number of ICT job vacancies decreased by more than 10% in the past year. The reason for this decline is not clear. Data from CBS reveals that over 40% of companies in the ICT sector (where over 30% of ICT professionals work) are still experiencing a shortage of skilled workers.
