About 85 percent of the Flemish families are satisfied with their income, yet one on three families with young children has difficulties to reach the end of a month. Traders lead the field with 92 per cent. The result drops to 66 percent at the in actives and one single person on five isn’t satisfied at all. Almost four Flemings on ten describes his financial state as comfortable.
Wages rise more than benefits
To keep in step with the prosperity introduced the Belgium government a “health index”, an index without cigarettes and fuel. The wages are rising -in contrast with benefits- with more than just that index. Owing to the generation pact the benefits will rise each 2 years. That’s the reason why at New Year 2008 the unemployment benefit rises with 2 per cent.
Employees happier than workmen
46 per cent of the employees says he has it comfortable, for workmen is it just 30 per cent. You have to divide the employees in two groups. On the one hand the managers and executives who earn a lot of money and on the other a group of employees with modest wages.
I find 85 per cent a high result because there are a lot of people who grumble about the proportion wages and work or they have to pay to much taxes… Also the fact to rise the unemployment benefit isn’t a good idea because there are people who resign form their jobs because they earn about the same wages in benefits. The active people are the victims of the system because they have to pay for the unemployed
