Refugees in the Netherlands are allowed to stay in an asylum centre in a house to wait, sometimes want not to work. Because they make a contribution need to pay as soon as they have a job, keep out of their wages but little about it.
At fulltimewerk against the minimum wage, keep them ‘in the worst case,” 196 euros per month, writes the Volkskrant. For many people, it is apparently not worth the trouble, it is the newspaper for: in 2015, the COA, the Central agency for the reception of asylum seekers, for 109.000 euros in contributions collected, while that year, tens of thousands of asylum seekers in the school.
Contribute in the opvangkosten
asylum Seekers who have obtained a license, so-called ‘status athletes’, often wait in a refugee camp until there is space for them. To the extent that, they have since 2008, contributions in the opvangkosten as soon as they earn money.
The Volkskrant describes the case of a refugee who was able to work as appelplukker. After deduction of its contribution to the COA, he would not even 200 euro per month left over, and he had also the public transport to pay for his work.
‘Work is encouraged’
A COA staff member would have asked him, or he for that amount really thirty days apples wanted to pick, after which he relinquished the job. But a COA spokesman told the newspaper that work is encouraged: “Not the financial aspect alone is important, but also to acquire work experience and learn the language.”
