• werkloosheidscijfer (unemployment rate): werk-loos-heids-cij-fer. Complex compound noun, similar syllabification principles. Stress on the antepenultimate syllable.
• onderwijsbeleid (education policy): on-der-wijs-be-leid. Syllable division follows vowel-centric rules. Stress on the penultimate syllable. The difference in stress placement is due to the length and structure of the word.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Centric: Syllables are built around vowel sounds.
• Avoid Diphthong Splitting: Diphthongs (like 'ei' or 'ui') are kept within a single syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together unless they are easily separable based on pronunciation.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Each component of a compound word is syllabified separately.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'sch' and 'ng' clusters are treated as single units in syllabification. The length of the word and the presence of multiple suffixes contribute to its complexity.
