On Wednesday 9 February, Queen Máxima and Carola Schouten, Minister for Poverty Policy, will pay a working visit to the Zuiderpark Sports Campus in The Hague to tackle problematic debts among young people. The focus is on the method of the Youth Perspective Fund Foundation (JPF), one of the debt relief methods that is being scaled up nationally via SchuldenlabNL. This is reported by the Royal House.
More than 22,000 households between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five were registered in March 2020 with problematic debts. There are signs that the number of young people with payment arrears or even problematic debts is much higher, partly as a result of the corona crisis. Young people have debts with banks, DUO, mobile providers and health insurance.
Debt-free
In 2016, the action platform Schuldenlab070 of the municipality of The Hague developed the youth perspective approach to help young people without income and problematic debts. The implementation is done in collaboration with the JPF foundation. The aim is to make young people between the ages of eighteen and twenty-seven debt-free, so that they have room again for their development. Depending on the individual situation, the JPF clears the debts and guides them to work or training. In addition, they all do a social internship in return.
Problematic debts
Queen Máxima and Minister Schouten talk to young people about their experiences with problematic debts. They also talk to social workers and administrators about what is needed to interest other municipalities in the youth perspective approach. In addition to The Hague, the municipalities of Almere, Eindhoven and Emmen, among others, work with the JPF.
At the end of 2020, dozens of municipalities and organizations, including health insurers, ratified the pact ‘Towards a debt-free Netherlands’. They agreed to use the same successful debt approach, allowing people to pay off their debts faster and municipalities to help more people in debt.
