De echte waarde van werk
Toen de Participatiewet in 2015 met veel bombarie werd aangekondigd, leek het een geweldig idee: zoveel mogelijk mensen mee laten doen op de arbeidsmarkt zou immers goed zijn voor zowel burger, werkgevers als overheid.

Hoe moet het nu verder met de mensen voor wie een werkend bestaan zelfs in een krappe arbeidsmarkt niet altijd vanzelfsprekend is?
