Abstract

"In the United States powerful job gains have been achieved in the last 25 years. In contrast the number of jobs in the European Union has increased comparatively little. At the same time unemployment has grown in two phases in the European countries whereas it remained at a comparatively low level in the USA despite considerably stronger inflows into the labour market and clearly higher labour force participation. The low employment intensity of the economic growth in Europe is especially noticeable in comparison with the USA. It is also the result of a relatively low significance of jobs in the service sector. In this article the theoretical impact connections of employment and productivity in the structural change are first outlined and compared with the actual development in an international comparison. Aparticular central theme of the article is the influence which has resulted from the relative development of productivity in the secondary and tertiary sector, affecting the sectoral employment development, and thus also from the employment intensity of the economic growth. The expansion of employment in the service sector has decisively increased the employment intensity of the growth. The conclusions concerning labour market policy focus on a promotion of jobs in the personal and house-hold- related service sector, which contribute to the reduction of structural unemployment."
