Chapter 9 in Labour Relations and Economic Performance, 1990, pp 229-254 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the second half of the 1970s Italy was alone among the major EEC economies in showing a positive rate of growth of employment in industry. In the same period the rate of growth of Italian industrial production was the highest and the rate of growth of output per person employed the lowest. This fact is surprising, especially in view of previous and subsequent records of productivity growth. Before and after the mid-1970s output and employment in Italy followed a pattern of growth which was close to the other large EEC countries.
