Fact sheets

In this section, the fact sheets are ordered alphabetically in accordance with the most important word of the title. In the Knowledge base (see the right hand column) the fact sheets are ordered thematically.

 

Please note that these fact sheets were originally written for a Dutch audience. Therefore, they mainly reflect issues relevant for the Dutch situation. Since many of these issues are also expected to be relevant elsewhere, we translated the fact sheets into English. However, it should be realized that some of the findings and conclusions are not directly applicable in other countries.
