«Convergence towards average OECD living standards has suffered a reversal since 2000 due to particularly weak labour productivity growth. Recent reforms have included some easing of employment protection legislation and improved upper-secondary education, but additional reforms are still necessary, notably in the following areas:
(…) Recommendations: Increase the proportion of education spending on non-wage items. Continue to strengthen teachers initial and on-the-job training. Fully implement a performance-based evaluation and career-progression system for teachers. Continue developing vocational and technical education. Monitor and evaluate results of the New Opportunity initiative, as its scale expands. (..)
Recommendations: Fully implement the SIMPLEX programme, including replacing licensing by trustbased declarations for most business activities. Increase collaboration between central government and municipalities to ensure efficient implementation at the local level. Harmonise regulations with major trading partners, including service sector standards and qualification requirements. (…)
Recommendations: Despite the importance of the recent reforms, protection of regular workers against dismissals will remain more restrictive than in the average OECD country. There is scope to further ease restrictions for temporary employment. It is essential that the reform measures be implemented promptly and enforced.(…)
Tax system: Simplify the tax system and broaden the corporate tax base. Reduce tax expenditures and avoid frequent changes to the tax code.»
