The new figures in the Technology Pact Monitor show that the relative intake in technical profiles and studies has slightly decreased. However, the number of women in technical professions has increased in 2020. As a result, the proportion of women has slightly risen and now 14% of technical professions are carried out by women.
There has been a significant growth in the number of individuals in technical professions in the labour market in recent years. This is related to an increasing demand for technicians and a growing 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 (labour force) was slightly lower in 2020 than in 2019. This also applies to the number of individuals in technical professions. In 2020, it was 1,573,000, compared to 1,582,000 in 2019. This may be a temporary effect.
All figures can be found on Techniekpactmonitor.nl.
