14 European countries in 2007 – and Austria
Compared with a set of 14 European countries, employee share
ownership seems low in Austria. We made a presentation last
month in Vienna on invitation of Vice-Chancellor Wilhelm
Molderer and Minister of Economics and Labour Martin Bartenstein,
comparing employee share ownership in 14 European countries.
This is based on most recent numbers, those of year 2006/2007
– a photography of European employee ownership in real time.
