 OECD recommendations

Productivity has stalled, undermined by the fragmentation of the business sector. The most efficient firms do not grow at full potential, while lower productivity entities survive thanks to the incomplete enforcement of rules and regulations. A comprehensive upgrading of the business environment would boost productivity and foster social inclusion.

  • Upgrade vocational education in co-operation with the business sector.
  • Grant more autonomy and resources to schools and universities to reduce the large quality gaps.
  • Reduce the de facto differences in the tax and social obligations related to the size of firms.
  • Liberalise fixed-term and temporary work agency contracts.
  • Scrutinise competition in service industries.
  • Accelerate the liberalisation of network sectors.
