Employee share ownership in SMEs
A first reliable study about employee share ownership in French
SMEs was published last month. It is well known that employee
share ownership in SMEs is underdeveloped in Europe, especially
compared to the USA. This is due to the remarkable effectiveness
of the ESOP model, in use in the USA for over 40 years, but
not in Europe. The usual evaluation of the number of employee
shareholders in SMEs is 1 million in Europe compared to 10
million in the US. The new study, ordered by Eres and BDO,
brings the number of 250.000 in France, which confirms the
former usual evaluations. More
