Oifik Youssefi is a political economist and host focused on the Dutch labour market. He combines policy insight with a real-world perspective, shaped by extensive travel and years of conversations with people from different cultures and industries.
He previously hosted a programme on Omroep Zwart for NPO Radio 1, where he developed a sharp, human style of storytelling. His approach is eclectic, moving between politics, economics, and social science.
“Rooting matters to me because it demands honesty before harmony. I believe common ground only means something when we’re first willing to acknowledge our differences, not smooth them over. When we recognize where we diverge in background, belief, and experience, conversations gain depth instead of becoming performative. That’s where real understanding starts.”
