Why?

In Flanders, the unemployment rate of immigrant population are higher than the European average. People of Turkish origin are the largest immigrant group in Western Europe and also in Flanders, they are the most important group of job seekers with an origin outside the EU, after jobseekers with Moroccan migration background.
Also small and highly skilled immigrant candidates are difficult to work. This is all the more painful since existing specific talents and skills are not utilized.
