The new figures in the Techniekpactmonitor show that the relative inflow into technical profiles and studies has slightly decreased. However, the number of women in technical professions did increase in 2020. As a result, the percentage of women in technical professions has slightly risen, with women now occupying 14% of these roles.
There has been significant growth in the number of individuals with technical professions in the labour market in recent years. This growth is linked to an increasing demand for technicians and a rising number of technical graduates during that period. The trend in the labour market during the coronavirus outbreak differed from previous years. The total number of employed individuals (working population) was slightly lower in 2020 compared to 2019. This was also the case for the number of individuals with technical professions, standing at 1,573,000 in 2020, down from 1,582,000 in 2019. This may be a temporary effect.
