==Biography==
===Early life===
{{BLP unreferenced section|date=October 2020}}
Mariëtte Bussemaker was born on 15 January 1961 in [[Capelle aan den IJssel]] in the [[Provinces of the Netherlands|province]] of [[South Holland]] as the daughter of Henk Bussemaker (1928–2018) and Elly Verduyn den Boer (1932–2017). Bussemaker attended primary and secondary education at the [[Rijnlands Lyceum Foundation|Rijnlands Lyceum]] in [[Oegstgeest]]. She subsequently studied at the [[University of Amsterdam]], where she obtained a [[Bachelor of Social Science]] and a [[Master of Social Science]] ''[[cum laude]]'' in [[political science]] (specializing in [[Political philosophy]]). In 1993, Bussemaker received a [[Doctor of Philosophy]] degree in political and social-cultural sciences at the same university. Between 1993 and 1998 she was assistant professor of political science at the University of Amsterdam. She had been a member of the [[GroenLinks|GreenLeft]] (GL) party during that period, but in 1995 she left it to join the [[Labour Party (Netherlands)|Labour Party]] (PvdA) in 1997.

==Political career==
In the [[1998 Dutch general election|1998 elections]] Bussemaker was elected into the House of Representatives. She specialized in employment policy, health care and taxes. In 2000 she was co-initiator of a proposal to allow conscientious objection for working on Sundays. This proposal became law in 2002. She remained assistant professor during her membership of the House of Representatives, now at the [[Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam]].<ref name="professor">{{Citation |title=Newsletter of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam |date=2007-06-27 |url=http://english.fsw.vu.nl/Organization/index.cfm/home_page.cfm/subsectionid/86ED222F-C9AE-5B1D-E039EE4CE66CCC95/fileid/86ED26A3-F4FF-7A5F-1DF4CC797E1F9360/pageid/86ED2A1D-A88C-B4CF-E2A610F23504BC49 |access-date=2008-08-01 }}{{dead link|date=April 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

After the [[2006 Dutch general election|election of 2006]], Bussemaker was asked to become [[List of Ministers of Health of the Netherlands#List of State Secretaries for Health|State Secretary for Health, Welfare and Sport]] in the [[Fourth Balkenende cabinet|Cabinet Balkenende IV]]. Bussemaker accepted and resigned as assistant professor the same day she took office as the new [[List of Ministers of Health of the Netherlands#List of State Secretaries for Health|State Secretary for Health, Welfare and Sport]] on 22 February 2007. In May 2008, Bussemaker received strong criticism from MPs and fellow cabinet members after stating for the radio that she supported 2008 American Presidential candidate [[Barack Obama]], and that she would consider the election of his [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] competitor [[John McCain]] to be a disaster. She did this in defiance of a ban on Cabinet members discussing foreign politics in a personal capacity,<ref name="controversy">{{Citation| title = Expatica, Dutch news in brief| date = 2008-07-28| url = http://www.expatica.com/nl/articles/news/Dutch-news-in-brief_-Monday-28-July-2008-.html| archive-url = https://archive.today/20130122133432/http://www.expatica.com/nl/articles/news/Dutch-news-in-brief_-Monday-28-July-2008-.html| url-status = dead| archive-date = 2013-01-22| access-date = 2008-08-01}}</ref> instituted earlier after Bussemaker's fellow [[Dutch Labour party]] member and Finance Minister [[Wouter Bos]] expressed a similar sympathy for [[Barack Obama]].<ref name="bos">{{Citation| title = Expatica, Balkenende annoyed at Bos' support for Obama| date = 2008-06-02| url = http://www.expatica.com/nl/articles/news/Balkenende-annoyed-at-Bos_-support-for-Obama.html| access-date = 2008-08-01| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080419010602/http://www.expatica.com/nl/articles/news/Balkenende-annoyed-at-Bos_-support-for-Obama.html| archive-date = 2008-04-19| url-status = dead}}</ref> On 20 February 2010 the [[Fourth Balkenende cabinet|Cabinet Balkenende IV]] fell and Bussemaker and the rest of the [[Labour Party (Netherlands)|Labour Party]] cabinet members resigned on 23 February 2010.

In January 2011 it was announced that Bussemaker would be part of the Board of the "Hogeschool Amsterdam" (that includes the International Business School and the Johan Cruyff University) and the University of Amsterdam, (they share the same board), she would also be dean at the Hogeschool Amsterdam. In December 2011 Jet Bussemaker and the board received heavy criticism for apparently allowing or not being able to curb widespread diploma fraud at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam.<ref name="fraud">{{Citation|title=Chaos op de Hogeschool van Amsterdam|date=2011-12-17|url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/11138966/__Chaos_op_de_HvA__.html|access-date=2011-12-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111217082843/http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/11138966/__Chaos_op_de_HvA__.html|archive-date=2011-12-17|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Bussemaker gave the 2013 [[Mosse Lecture]], titled ''Grenzen aan homo-emancipatiebeleid: burgerwacht of politieagent? – Over de 'red lines' van het homo-emancipatiebeleid'' (''Limits to gay emancipation policy: civilian or police officer? - About the 'red lines' of the gay emancipation policy'').<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.coc.nl/algemeen/mosse-lezing-door-minister-bussemaker|title=Mosse-lezing door minister Bussemaker|date=1 October 2013|publisher=[[COC Nederland]]|access-date=6 February 2019|language=nl|trans-title=Mosse lecture by minister Bussemaker}}</ref>
