Despite the need for more workers in the Netherlands, over 4.8 million people work part-time, which is far more than in many other European countries. The impact of part-time workers taking on extra hours could be greater for the Dutch economy than people generally assume, according to analysts at RaboResearch. Adding two hours more to a part-time workers roster could grow the economy by 3 percent, equivalent to about 35 billion euros per year, or roughly 1,800 euros per person, economists Hugo Erken and Frank van Es told De Telegraaf.
