With the package, the cabinet wants to help people to adapt to the new economic reality.

Employees can make use of existing schemes such as the tax student deduction or the possibilities offered by their R&D fund. In addition to this, the government has earmarked 50 million euros for the NL Leert Door crisis program, which allows people to follow development advice and online training free of charge.
What do I have to pay myself?
