The OECD recommends Spain to make flexible its labor market to generate use
Gurría insists on which the “great challenge” of the Spanish economy is to diversify to its sources of growth the Organization for the Cooperation and the Economic Development (the OECD) recommends Spain to make flexible its labor market to generate use and to diversify its sources of growth, --now that the infrastructures and the house will have a smaller weight like economic motor--, to face up in good conditions to the process of world-wide economic deceleration. According to reflected report 2008 of the international organism that evaluates the progresses of the Member States to overcome its deficiencies in productivity and use, Spain has continued in recent years the process of convergence of its GIP by inhabitant with respect to the countries of the OECD with a better behavior, although to a slower rate. In the document, presented/displayed today in Paris by his Secretary General Angel Gurría, it is put of relief that Spain has not taken any from the measures recommended by the OECD to limit the administrative extension of the collective agreements or to reform the legislation on the protection against the unemployment of the workers with stable contract. It has not made anything either to reinforce the competition in the sector of the retail commerce. These aspects, next to the reform of the education superior and the one of the system of pensions, were the five priorities that the OECD established in 2007 for the Spanish case and that they have been evaluated a year later. In particular, the OECD aimed that, to avoid excessive rigidities and wage rises in some sectors, it agreed to allow the companies that did not apply the regional and sectorial wage agreements and to end the clauses of readjustment of the inflation. Also, the necessity considered to reduce the indenmizaciones by dismissal for the workers with indefinite contract and to promote a unique contract by virtue of which the indemnifications by dismissal would increase based on the antiquity. In the evaluation of this aspect, the OECD mentions that Spain has not taken any measurement from the reform from July from 2006, that increased the financial incentives to new indefinite contracts offered to certain wage categories and limited temporary contracts. RETAIL COMMERCE. With regards the commercial scope, the OECD suggested to increase the competition in the retail sector eliminating for it the commercial obstacles to the creation of great surfaces and centers that the regional authorities had started up. But advances have not taken place here either. What yes it is valued positively is the new adopted university law in March of 2007 that grants to major autonomy to the centers and tries to in line eliminate the obstacles the entrance of the professors in the private sector at the same time improving gobernanza in the education superior, with the recommendation done by the OECD. As soon as the reform of the system of pensions, the OECD proposed an actuarial system more just to avoid an increase of the taxes destined to cover the costs with manpower and budgetary derivatives with the aging with the population. The international organism remembers on the matter that the reform that entered Spain at the beginning of 2007 with the agreement of the social agents in force entails new restrictions to the partial retirement, a slight increase of the effective period of of quote having right to a pension and forts incentives to continue in active-duty beyond the present age of retirement. “Superior has worked in the reform of the education system and in the matter of reform system pensions and what we are confirming it is that, generally, it has advanced in competitiveness and education, but not as much in the labor markets because politically he is more complicated and it has been more time to generate the necessary consensus. But it is necessary to do it”, summarized Gurría. GREAT CHALLENGE. The Secretary General of the OECD insisted on which the “great challenge” of Spain will be the diversification of the economy and the sources of growth “because the motors of the infrastructure and the house now will be less important and will be necessary to move more towards elements of greater added value”. In addition, it added that the reform of the labor market is “always an important element” because that is what is going to allow that is more use and than, in conditions of under economic growth, when there is use opportunity the industralists “assume the risk”.
