"The objective of the service vouchers? To reduce undeclared work and bring low-skilled people out of unemployment. Both goals of the service vouchers seem to be achieved, according to a study conducted by the KU Leuven."
Domestic workers are an important component of our society. The system of service cheques is a win-win-win for the government, clients and domestic workers.
- Win for the government: studies show that at least 88% of the public investment returns to the government.
- Win for the clients: service vouchers are simple, cheap and completely in white. Moreover, your domestic worker is insured if something happens, which is never the case with undeclared work.
- Win for the domestic worker: unlike undeclared work, service vouchers provide social protection with a legal, fixed and secure wage. In that way, domestic workers also build up pension rights. In addition, service voucher companies also invest in training and education.
It is good that the system of service vouchers is recognised as a sound solution. It is a substantial public investment, but the effectiveness is high.
