Abstract

En este Informe de Economía de España y Europa en 2021 analizamos algunos problemas de la economía española como son el estancamiento del salario real medio y de la productividad en el período 1995-2021. Presentamos un resumen de las principales causas que ocasionan este estancamiento en comparación con algunos de los principales países de la OCDE: Estados Unidos, Alemania y Francia. Destacamos la importancia que tiene recuperar el nivel de producción industrial real por habitante de España, que ha disminuido especialmente desde 2008. Las dificultades de recuperación, aparte de la crisis actual provocada por la pandemia del año 2020 y el desabastecimiento de algunos productos del comercio internacional en 2021, se deben fundamentalmente a falta de apoyo de las políticas industriales de España y de la Unión Europea. Esta falta de apoyo, en contra de las demandas ciudadanas, se debe a insuficiencia de la calidad democrática en ambos casos. España presenta un nivel de satisfacción con el Gobierno inferior a la media europea, y muy alejado de los países con mayor nivel. Ello se debe a que los objetivos de democracia y concordia que los ciudadanos esperaban de la Constitución Española de 1977, se han deteriorado debido a varios errores del sistema electoral que contribuyen a la crispación partidista. España ha perdido posiciones en desarrollo económico y calidad de vida, pero tiene recursos humanos y capacidad de superación. Se incluyen Anexo de demandas de calidad en España y de calidad de vida en Europa. In this Report on the Economy of Spain and Europe in 2021 we include reference to some of the main problems of the Spanish economy, such as the stagnation of the average real wage and productivity in the period 1995-2021. We present a summary of the main causes of this stagnation compared to some of the main OECD countries: the United States, Germany and France. We highlight the importance of recovering the level of real industrial production per inhabitant of Spain, which has decreased especially since 2008. The difficulties of recovery, apart from the current crisis caused by the pandemic of 2020 and the shortage of some products of international trade in 2021, they are mainly due to a lack of support from the industrial policies of Spain and the European Union. This lack of support, contrary to citizen demands,elopment, is due to insufficient quality of democracy in both cases. Spain presents a level of satisfaction with the Government that is lower than the European average, and far removed from the countries with the highest level. This is due to the fact that the objectives of democracy and harmony that citizens expected from the Spanish Constitution of 1977 have deteriorated due to various errors in the Spanish electoral system that contribute to partisan tension. Spain has lost positions in economic development and quality of life, but it has human resources and the ability to improve. We highlight some of the main measures that can drive such development.
