Description: Since the Netherlands seems to have solved the unemployment problem that is still haunting its neighbours, its policies have attracted a Europe wide attention. Somehow the rumor spread that there existed something like a Dutch ‘Poldermodel’ in politics, capable of solving the problems which were faced by almost all the West European states in the early 1980’s, like high unemployment, huge public deficits and over crowded universities.
