• Resumen

  • This article reviews a research project, based on a survey of 500 companies, to identify the main barriers which European companies face when seeking to extend their financial participation plans in their home country to their employees working for the group throughout the European Union. The research project reveals a reasonable �spread� of financial participation plan types across the EU. The different types of schemes differ with regard to the numbers of eligible workers and participation levels. The country distribution of plans confirms the impact of national regulations and tax incentives, as well as social and cultural influences on the financial participation practices across the EU.
