The fifth Socio-Economic Monitoring of the FPS Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue and Unia shows that the position of people of foreign origin on our labour market has improved in recent years. However, their employment rate is still much lower than that of people of Belgian origin, especially compared to our neighbouring countries. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic showed how vulnerable their position remains. In the heart of Europe, in a country with a strong tradition of social dialogue and good anti-discrimination legislation, this is not acceptable.

The Federal Public Service Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue and Unia publish a new socio-economic monitoring report, covering the years 2008 to 2016.

The Socio-Economic Monitoring analyses the recent evolution of the labour market as well as the working conditions of people according to their origin.
