Their record levels of benefit dependency and labor market inactivity rates induced a political crisis in both countries in the early 1990s. The Dutch disability insurance and the Belgian unemployment insurance represented the Achilles' heels of their respective social security systems. Despite the scope and severity of the problems in each country, reform outcomes looked very different. In Belgium, major reforms were announced but only incremental steps were taken to improve the financial sustainability of the social security arrangements. The Netherlands experienced major changes in its disability policy and in the organization of disability benefit administration and supervision. ISBN 9789059720282.
