In particular, because of reduced employment levels, labour productivity has shown a significant increase across a range of efficiency indicators.

and out of the labour market to a situation where they are a proprietor of a business,

Turning to impacts on wages, profits and tax revenues, these additional impacts are likely to be relatively small in the period up to 2008, because of the low levels of unemployment and consequent high levels of labour market displacement.

This translates into potential employment levels of between 10,700 and 21,500 depending on the scale of employment in assisted firms

Comparing the annual benefits to the fully loaded costs indicates that even allowing for a high level of labour market displacement in the period 2004-2010,

Historically, Spanish labour market regulation has been notoriously rigid; the high costs of terminating employees are in part responsible for a shift towards temporary hiring contracts,
