Work is the first of freedoms: it provides income, a place in society, and a future perspective. However, the unemployment rate remains too high in Brussels, while many employers struggle to recruit. This paradox is not inevitable: it signifies that work must be further facilitated and rewarded.
In the spirit of the reforms led by MR to modernize the labor market — activation towards employment, tax reduction for Brussels residents far from the labor market who find a job, conditioning aid on the creation of local jobs — I advocate for a municipal policy that makes return to employment a concrete, measurable, and demanding priority.
Areas of Focus
Facilitate and reward work
Support measures that make returning to employment financially attractive, such as tax reduction for Brussels residents far from the labor market who find a job. Working must always pay more than not working.
Activation and training
Strengthen collaboration with Actiris and training operators to bring job seekers closer to shortage occupations. Individualized support, qualifying training, and direct connection with Brussels employers.
An economic fabric that hires
Employment is primarily created within businesses: support for local commerce, entrepreneurship, and tax incentives conditioned on the creation of local jobs, in accordance with the regional Competitiveness Pact.
