Belgium flexijobs reform shows early uptake: +1,312 workers in July

Belgium's July 2026 flexijobs reform, which extended the system to all sectors except those opting out, saw a net increase of 1,312 flexijob workers versus June, per preliminary ONSS data. The minister claims success, but the data is raw and only covers one month, so the trend is not yet established. This matters as it signals early labor-market response to a major employment-policy change.
