Extract

The Netherlands is a small country of about 15 million inhabitants. With 400 inhabitants per square kilometer, it is one of the most densely populated areas of the world (19). Here, government is not seen as negative, but as a tool to solve societal problems. Ordinarily, the public and private sectors work cooperatively together, but the government will step in when needed. (19, 20).
