Do you want to commission a study on an issue related to work? Do you need advice (or counter-advice) on an issue concerning work and income? Are you looking for an inspiring speaker? Then you have come to the right place.

The labour market often works a little differently than you think. Did you know that the job for life is still very much alive? That the shortage of staff is not caused by the ageing of the population? That Gen Z finds their salary more important than meaning in their work? If you look beyond the latest hype and dig deeper than superficial trends, you will really understand how the labour market works - or does not work.

I have extensive experience as a researcher and advisor in the field of work and income. I have conducted numerous studies on topics such as (tightness in) the labour market, flexibilisation, ageing, industrial relations, the value of work, solidarity, inequality, social security and the welfare state. I have served on many advisory committees and advisory bodies and am currently a member of the Advisory Council on Migration and the Advisory Council of the Social Insurance Administration UWV. I am also a much sought-after speaker for a variety of meetings, from small-scale interactive seminars to large conferences. I am an independent researcher, advisor and speaker and am also affiliated with the AIAS-HSI research institute of the University of Amsterdam for one day a week.
