Less workers member of a trade union – NU.nl

The total number of members since 1999, but in the last years the decrease is less substantial, reports the Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS) on Thursday.

The number of female members is grown. This year were 646.000 women member of a trade union. That is a quarter more than in 1999 (518.000). This is because relatively more women are going to work.

Men

The number of male members is shrinking. In 1999, there were 1.4 million men member. This year it went to 1.1 million. That equates to a decline of 21 percent.

This year there are notably fewer 25 – to 45-year-olds, a member of a trade union. There are 25,000 is less than in 2015. The number of people over 65 among the members is correct with fourteen thousand increased.

Out

also, is there a distinction between unions that are to a out are connected, and unions who are not. The membership of the unions that are under a dome of falling, increased by nearly 27,000 people to 1.46 million.

at the same time grew the number of members of non-affiliated unions with nearly ten thousand. The total number of members of these unions came out this year on 257.000.

Training

Also, it appears from the data of the CBS is that low-skilled workers unions more important than highly educated individuals. The share of members among low-skilled workers (71 percent) is many times higher than among people with higher education (46 percent). In addition, appear to be women (63 percent) of the value to trade unions than men (56 percent).

in Addition, judging of different age groups differently about the value of unions. Seven out of ten workers from 55 to 65 years, say the unions, important to find.

more than 60 percent of the youngest group (15 to 25 years), agrees. Among the oldest employees (65 to 75 years), the share of trade unions is important to the smallest.
