[ send me this research ]
Over the course of the last decade, increasing interest in the economy of the Netherlands has stemmed from their participation in the European Union, their pursuit of appropriate fiscal status for their compliance with the constructs of the European Monetary Union, and increasing interest in international trade because of favorable economic conditions. At same time, long-term economic issues, including consistently high long-term unemployment have resulted in some conflicting views on the economic status of the Netherlands. This 23 page paper provides a substantive view of the status of the economy in the Netherlands, including an evaluation of Gross National Product, consumerism, complicity with other EU countries, unemployment, and the status of the health care system. This study provides a representative view of the Netherlands that can be used as a comparative base in evaluating other countries as well. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
