| Barometer
of employee share ownership policies in European countries |
|
The
mass development of employee share ownership brings
better motivation, productivity, profitability, higher
growth, more and better jobs. This is good for all.
But it depends on policy will to initiate the virtuous
circle through appropriate fiscal incentives.
After 2008, some European countries took negative
decisions, removing or decreasing fiscal incentives,
which led to a decline of the number of employee shareholders.
Some other European countries took the opposite way,
applying new or higher incentives, which led to a
higher number of employee shareholders.
All these policy decisions in various European countries,
in a positive or a negative way, can be summarized
through a single dedicated tool.

This is the reason of the setting up of the EFES "Barometer
of employee share ownership policies in European countries".
Before 2009, the barometer showed a continuous increase,
practically all policy decisions being positive. A
negative phase occurred from 2009 to 2013. Since then,
most policy decisions are positive again.
