ECONOMIC SURVEY OF EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP IN EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES
IN 2008
The new Annual Survey for year 2008 shows that employee ownership declined a
bit on the threshold of the financial crisis.
Assets held
by employee owners fell to 240.2 billion Euro
in 2008, compared to 283.3 billion in 2007 (-15.2%). However, this was still much more than the 206.2 billion in 2006.
As a percentage, employees' share stabilized on
2.63% in the capital ownership structure. Considering
recent trends, employee ownership is going to
double within the next 5-10 years, from 9.1 million
employee owners now to 16 million, from 28.2%
of all employees in large European companies now
to 40-50%, and capitalisation held by employees
going to raise from 2.63% now to 4-5%. This is
the main conclusion of the economic survey of
employee ownership in the European countries in
year 2008.
The survey brings an exhaustive information about
2.533 European groups, gathering 259.000 companies
and 32.4 million employees.
