Introduction
The series presented on this page constitute the second of two updates of the EU KLEMS Productivity and Growth Accounts on industry level in 2016 and 2017. With the current release, the 2016 release has been extended to include all individual EU-28 countries, several EU aggregates, and the United States. In July 2018 the 2017 EU KLEMS release has been updated with some minor revisions. An overview of these revisions can be found in the following document:
Revisions to the 2017 release of EU KLEMS, July 2018
Concepts and methodologies to calculate the various growth and productivity variables in the 2016 and 2017 EU KLEMS releases were adjusted to the new European System of National Accounts (ESA 2010). The 2017 release has a number of new features:
Time period: 1995-2015 for most countries and industries. See country notes for deviations.
The data on output, value added and employment is consistent with official statistics as available from Eurostat at the corresponding industry levels. See country notes for deviations.
The asset types were modified and extended according to the ESA 2010 requirements.
The data on gross fixed capital formation, prices, and capital stocks is consistent with Eurostat at the corresponding industry levels. See country notes for deviations. As assumptions with regard to depreciation patterns differ between the official estimates, the capital services measures are not fully harmonized as in earlier modules of EU KLEMS.
For labour services use has been made of the micro-data from the European Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the Structure of Earnings Survey (SES) for recent years.
Growth accounts have not been calculated for Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Euro Area, EU-15, and EU-28 due to substantial gaps in capital data.

Disability in the Workplace in China: Current Realities and Ways Forward (Roundtable Summary Report)
No full textAccording to official statistics, there are an estimated 85 million persons living with a disability in China. Due to stigma, discrimination, and a lack of successful government strategies, they are economically and socially marginalized, with limited access to education, training programs, and work opportunities. The quota system currently in place in is not effective in enabling labor market participation for persons with disabilities in China. In 2015, a mere 0.3 percent of China’s total urban employment consisted of persons with a disability–a far cry from the mandated 1.5 percent. Further analysis and subsequent discussions with employers suggest that the quota system rarely encourages real employment opportunities. Instead, employers tend to view hiring persons with disabilities as part of regulatory compliance or charitable programs rather than as an element of their talent acquisition strategies. To move the disability discussion from compliance to competitive advantage, The Conference Board China Center collaborated with the K. Lisa Yang and Hock E. Tan Institute on Employment and Disability (YTI) at Cornell University’s ILR School to convene a groundbreaking roundtable on September 19, 2018 in Beijing. The event was part of a broader research collaboration between The Conference Board China Center and YTI to increase understanding of workforce inclusion of persons with disabilities in China, and to identify practical ways forward for employers. A dozen large multinational companies and NGOs gathered in person to share current approaches and challenges to hiring persons with a disability in China, including recruitment practices, accessibility and accommodation in the workplace and training and skills development. Participants also shared experiences with partnerships, on-the-job training, and retention programs. Senior managers attending included leaders from human resources, operations, corporate communications and government relations. Key learnings from the workshop’s expert presentations and group discussions are summarized.CC034_12_03_Disability_Workplace_China_Roundtable.pdf: 117 downloads, before Oct. 1, 2020

Kirsten Jäger (2016), EU KLEMS Growth and Productivity Accounts 2016 release - Description of Methodology and General Notes
Introduction
This revision includes the December 2016 update from Eurostat where many gaps in output and capital data in 2014 were filled besides other revisions. In addition, various sectoral aggregates were adjusted to keep consistency with previous releases of EU KLEMS. The series presented on this page are part of two updates of the EU KLEMS Productivity and Growth Accounts on industry level in 2016 and 2017.
Concepts and methodologies to calculate the various growth and productivity variables in the 2016 EU KLEMS release were adjusted to the new European System of National Accounts (ESA 2010). The 2016 release has a number of new features:
Time period: 1995-2014 for most countries and industries
The data on output, value added and employment is nearly fully consistent with Eurostat at the corresponding industry levels - if not mentioned otherwise in the country notes below.
The data on gross fixed capital formation, prices, and capital stocks is nearly fully consistent with Eurostat at the corresponding industry levels - if not mentioned otherwise in the country notes below. This means that capital stock measures are not fully harmonized on the basis of common assumptions to compute capital services as in earlier modules of EU KLEMS.
The asset types were modified and extended according to the ESA 2010 requirements.
For labour services use has been made of the micro-data underlying the European Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the Structure of Earning Survey (SES) for recent years.
Sources and methods
The EU KLEMS updates in the new ISIC Rev. 4 industry classification are being done on a country by country basis. Documentation will be provided separately for each country and release. New releases for all 28 EU member states, the United States, possibly Japan, and several aggregates will be available in summer 2017 to the extent possible.

Leveling the Playing Field Executive Summary
Get PDFRecession or boom, business leaders consider finding and keeping the right talent a constant challenge. Executives spend significant amounts of time and money recruiting, retaining, and promoting the employees they think have the talent to secure success. Leveling the Playing Field: Attracting, Engaging, and Advancing People with Disabilities, a report from The Conference Board that is based on a year’s worth of research by the Research Working Group for Improving Employment Outcomes for People with Disabilities, explores how people with disabilities, including recent veterans, can be part of the talent solution—both as a source of talent and a spur to make organizations better places to work. People with disabilities may even be a bellwether of changes in the workplace for all employees. As demonstrated in a case study about Walgreens in the full research report, employers who foster the employment of people with disabilities often see benefits for all employees and the organization as a whole.
Employers may become more motivated to attract, engage, and advance people with disabilities in coming years. For one thing, the proportion of the workforce with disabilities will increase as the population ages. Improvements in technology and work design will also make access to work and the work itself easier for all employees, making it simpler to accommodate existing workers and hire people with disabilities. These employment strategies may even result in new opportunities for developing competitive advantage
