Life

Albregts initially worked as a teacher for the first 20 years of his career, including 1926–1945 at the Roman Catholic Lyceum in Hilversum , and from 1929–1945 also at the Technical High School in Utrecht . From 1932 to 1937 he studied economics at the Catholic Business School in Tilburg , where he also received his doctorate in 1948. This was followed by an extraordinary professorship for international economic policy at his place of study from 1949 to 1951. From 1945 to 1951 Albregts was both general secretary of the Catholic employers 'association AKWV and director of the association of Catholic employers' associations.

In March 1951 Albregts was appointed Minister without Portfolio and from then on dealt with affairs of the middle class, public company organization and productivity increases in the whole economic life.
