3. What combination

● Belgium seems to have the fundamentals right with regard to quality – but could use a higher employment rate

● Look for a combination of solutions

● Women – Sweden seems the obvious good practice

● Youth – Germany with its apprenticeship might be useful

● Older workers – Belgium on the right way, what is more needed?
