English to Dutch: Report on evolutions in social policy General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - English When it comes to the pension system, action is decidedly resolute. With the goal of wanting to encourage longer careers, avenues to early retirement are cut and special pension schemes are curbed. A clear message rings through a set of important measures that were enacted almost immediately after the inauguration of the new government: everyone will have to work two years longer.
In the health care system, an economy of € 2.3 billion is realised. As most of this money comes from a reduction in the growth norm which in previous years had propelled health care expenditures forward at an automatic yearly rate of 4.5%, and thus from not spending already budgeted funds, the system itself is barely touched and real savings are almost absent.
Long-term care is mostly organised along a medical model of care delivery, and is thus affected in much the same way.
Translation - Dutch Op het vlak van het pensioensysteem is beleidsactie erg resoluut. Met het doel langere loopbanen aan te moedigen worden manieren geschrapt waarop vervroegd pensioen kan worden bekomen en worden bijzondere pensioenstelsels ingeperkt. In het pakket van belangrijke maatregelen die bijna onmiddelijk na de eedaflegging van de nieuwe regering werden ingevoerd klinkt een duidelijke boodschap door: iedereen zal twee jaar langer moeten werken.
In de sector van de geneeskundige verzorging wordt € 2,3 miljard bespaard. Omdat het grootste deel daarvan komt van een vermindering van de groeinorm die de uitgaven in de sector de laatste jaren automatisch had doen groeien met 4,5% per jaar, en dus eigenlijk van een niet-realiseren van eerder geplande uitgaven, wordt aan het systeem zelf nauwelijks geraakt en zijn er bijna geen echte besparingen.
Langdurige zorg is voor het grootste deel georganiseerd volgens een medisch model en volgt dus dezelfde evolutie.
Working as a legal expert and translator in Dutch and English since 1998. Professional full-time translator since 2012. Localising online products and web content since 2013. Accurate and timely.
I am a legal professional and a native Dutch speaker with a very good command of English. For years, translating complicated text correctly and with context has been a necessary side-activity to my other work. Prompted by positive feedback and by the observation that I really enjoy this work, I decided to take this part of my business one step further and to start offering translations as a freelancer.
In recent years, I have added localisation (including advice, QA and creating marketing-oriented content) and the translation of fast-moving, web-based content to my portfolio.
