Statistics bureau CBS says unemployment in the Netherlands increased to 6.8% in June 2013. Household spending declined by 1.8% on an annual basis in May, following two years of declines. Fall in house prices since 2008 have led to smaller spending and decline in sales of cars, appliances and household products. As the household sector cuts back, the banks and government are also working to reduce debt and improve finances. The cutbacks are happening at the same time leading to the paradox of thrift, says a professor at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, where all sectors are saving leading to a reduction or collapse of aggregate demand. The government of prime minister Mark Rutte is adhering to financial discipline to meet EU requirement in 2014 and implementation of 6 billion euros in spending cuts by Sept. 2013.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
