Belgium Student Worker Numbers Hit Record High in 2025

Belgium recorded 649,036 active student workers in 2025, a new record and a 0.7% increase from 2024, according to Unizo and Liantis. The rise is modest and continues an established upward trend, with employer groups advocating to maintain the current 650-hour annual cap. The development signals a stable labor market trend but carries limited immediate geopolitical or market impact.
