Employee Share Ownership and Profit-sharing in the EU

This summary describes a recent study, undertaken by the Foundation in conjunction with Cranfield University in the UK, which analyses financial participation in some 2,500 EU companies with more than 200 employees, using data mainly from the 1999/2000 ‘Cranet-E’ survey. The findings provide the widest geographical scope in Europe of any empirical study to date on the subject of employee share ownership and profit-sharing, measured against a range of workplace issues.
