-Conversely, the most male team is that of Theo Francken (N-VA). Here, the ratio is 23 % of women against 77 % of men. At the time, the Minister of Defense had swept criticism from parity within the government, arguing that “The competence must take precedence, it does not matter if it is a man or a woman “. It is important to specify that the army sector is traditionally very masculine.

The 50/50 cabinet is that of the Minister of Energy, Mathieu Bihet (MR).
Reduction of workforce

The ministers achieve it in particular by sharing workers. The Ministers Clarinval, Bihet and Simonet share the same secretariat. Ministers Vandenbroucke and Beender have the same human resources director. He also works in Flanders for ministers Depraetere and Gennez.
