The dropout rate in HBO is about 30 to 40% either for students coming from secondary vocational or from general training. Labour market, social security and welfare: transitions from unemployment to work • The Dutch youth unemployment rate is traditionally low in comparison to other European countries even though it is on average two times as high as the overall unemployment rate. Youth unemployment rose strongly during the crisis, as did the overall unemployment rate, from 7% in 2008 to about 14% in 2013. From 2014 on youth unemployment is declining again and is now 12% in the beginning of 2015. • The governance structure with respect to youth policies reflects the features of the Dutch welfare state, highly centralised in terms of law making and policy formation but with decentralised responsibilities for the execution of specific policies notably in the domain of labour market, social security and welfare.
