Relaxation - criteria
For the specification of this basket, we relied on legislative initiatives by the Flemish and the Belgian lawmakers, recent Flemish policy initiatives and feedback from respondents in the focus groups.
Policy makers have made several efforts to acknowledge the right to relaxation for everyon. The richt to cultural and social development was taken into account into the civil law (art. 23).
Supported by those efforts we have included this basket together with the respondents from the focus groups. An important criteria is the fact that the basket isn't intended to be a rule of what minimal relaxation should be. Spare time is something everyone should be able to decide upon for their own purposes. The budget should leave room for variation.
