{{Politics of the Netherlands}}

The '''Social and Economic Council''' ([[Dutch language|Dutch]]: ''Sociaal-Economische Raad'', SER) is a major economic advisory council to the [[cabinet of the Netherlands]]. Formally it heads a [[Publiekrechtelijke Bedrijfsorganisatie|system of sector-based regulatory organisations]]. It represents the [[social partners]] [[trade union]]s and [[employers' organization|employers' organisations]]. It forms the core organisation of the [[corporatism|corporatist]] and [[social market economy]] known as the [[polder model]] and the main platform for [[social dialogue]].

==History==
The SER was founded in 1950. It was founded after a long debate about the economic order of the Netherlands. The two main governing parties of the time, the [[Catholic People's Party]] (KVP) and the [[Labour Party (Netherlands)|Labour Party]] (PvdA) had differing opinions on the subject. Both wanted to prevent the repetition of the [[Great Depression]]. The Labour Party preferred to grant the government an important regulatory role in the economy, while the KVP preferred to rely on the workings of a self-regulating market economy. A compromise was found in the corporatist model, in which both [[Trade unions in the Netherlands|trade unions]] and employers' organisations would form sector-based regulatory organisations. The SER headed this structure and served as important partner for the national government. The SER was very important in the reconstruction of the Netherlands after the [[World War II]].

In the 1950s and 60s, the SER was particularly successful in ensuring economic growth through close cooperation between government, trade unions and employers' organisations. In the 1970s, because of rising political [[Political polarization|polarisation]] and the [[1973 oil crisis]], the SER was unable to resolve economic problems. In the 1980s the SER returned to the centre of the economic policy making, as it was the platform for dialogue between  the government and its [[social partners]]. In the 1990s, the role of the SER began to change. The role of the sector-based regulatory organisations began to decline and the SER increasingly took the role of an advisory council of government; in 1997 the [[Senate (Netherlands)|Senate]] and [[House of Representatives (Netherlands)|House of Representatives]] were granted the right to submit enquiry commissions to the SER.

==Goals==
The SER has three main goals for Dutch social-economic policy:
* To promote balanced and [[sustainability|sustainable]] [[economic growth]];
* To promote full employment;
* To promote a fair [[income distribution]].

==Organisation==
[[File:SERDenHaag.JPG|thumb|SER headquarters, [[The Hague]]]]
The SER has thirty-three members. It consists of three sections, which each have eleven members in the council. These sections are trade unions, employers' organisations and government-appointed members, the so-called Crown members. The trade union members are appointed from the three major unions: [[Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging|FNV]] (8), [[Christelijk Nationaal Vakverbond|CNV]] (2) and the [[Federation of Managerial and Professional Staff Unions|MHP]] (1). The members of the employers' organisations are representatives from the three major employers' organisations: [[VNO-NCW]] (7), [[Midden- en Kleinbedrijf Nederland|MKB]] (3) and the [[Land- en Tuinbouw Organisatie|LTO]] (1). The government-appointed members are normally professors of economics or related fields and they include representatives of the [[Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis]] (CPB) and the central bank, [[De Nederlandsche Bank]]. The board of the SER is formed by four members of each section. The chair of the organisation is always a government appointee.

The SER heads and oversees the system of sector-based regulatory organisations. These organisations can like other governments, [[province]]s, [[water board]]s etc. enforce legislation{{examples needed|date=October 2018}} for their members, in this case companies. The SER is financed by levies which companies pay to the [[Chamber of commerce|chambers of commerce]]. It spends €14 million a year.

==Activities==
The group has negotiated among other things, agreements in the textile sector, the banking sector and the gold sector. The SER also performs legal and administrative tasks. For example in the field of employee participation, healthy and safe working, employment inspections and pensions.{{clarify|date=October 2018}}<!-- Are these binding agreements? What do they cover?
