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% to 520,000 in 2019. Dutch workforce now consists of almost 6% ICT professionals, a share that has steadily increased in recent years. A decade ago, ICT professionals made up only 4% of the workforce.
Interestingly, the number of ICT vacancies decreased by more than 10% in the past year. The reasons for this decline are unclear. Data from CBS reveals that over 40% of companies in the ICT sector (where more than 30% of ICT professionals are employed) still face labour shortages.
