Last year, 474,000 young people in the Netherlands received youth care, 10,000 more than in 2021. The increase is mainly due to more teenage girls needing help, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reported on Tuesday. One in nine young people up to 23 received youth care last year. The majority were between 8 and 18 years old.
No fewer than 3,375 people received a royal distinction during this year’s “lintjesregen,” the ribbon ceremony to honor volunteers and others who contribute to Dutch society traditionally held the day before the monarch’s birthday. That is the highest number since 2012, under the then Queen Beatrix. King Willem-Alexander has never awarded so many knighthoods and royal house memberships.
