In the Netherlands, volunteers can be paid up to €5.60 per hour and up to €2100 per year (tax-free).
If they’re being paid then they’re not volunteers…
They are considered volunteers in the Netherlands as long as the compensation is way below market rates. I don’t understand why you think this is a problem.
I mean I don’t know what the implications of this are so I’m not sure what the problem is. What’s to stop an employer from hiring someone, paying them a few bucks an hour and calling them “volunteers”?
The bigger issue is that that’s simply not what a “volunteer” is, by definition.

Because most likely would not find volunteers that are ok being paid approx. 170euro a month. Also I think this setting is only applicable to foundations and associations.
Plenty of people do. That’s why minimum wage is a thing.
