Six out of ten Dutch households have trouble making ends meet
A new study of Dutch households showed that roughly 60 percent were either financially unhealthy or financially vulnerable. That figure has grown from about 50 percent in 2021.
In 2022, about 21 percent were considered to be financially healthy, down from 27 percent. Another 19 percent were considered financially adequate, down from 24 percent. Those considered to be unhealthy or vulnerable reached 30 percent each, with both groups increasing their share from about one-fourth of households in 2021.
"Unhealthy" was defined as those who cannot make ends meet, while "vulnerable" indicates those who can make ends meet but cannot use savings to cover unexpected incidents. "Adequate" are those who have a little bit of cash leftover for savings every month with stable and predictable income flows, though occasionally have to make the tough choice to skip boosting savings to stay current with another payment.
Among the most hard-hit are those aged 18 to 25. About 30 percent of them were financially unhealthy in 2021, and that figure swelled to 45 percent in 2022.
