"Według ekonomistów CER może to oznaczać, że polski system edukacyjny jest
niedostosowany do rynku pracy."

Może oznaczać? To chyba żart. Polskie szkoły to instytucje, w których nadal
się uważa, że najważniejsza jest wiedza*).

      zdaniem ekonomistów CER w zeszłym roku kraje Unii trochę poprawiły wdrażanie

        Irlandia też jest katolicka i bardzo religijna. I nie jest w ogonie, tylko
        raczej z przodu przeważającej większości wskaźników. Twoje wnioskowanie jest

          Tak.

          Nie.

          Szczególnie jeśli chodzi o infrastrukturę drogową, którą mają chyba gorszą od
          naszej.

          A co powiesz o swoim? Irlandia to kraj o KUTLURZE katolickiej, nie religii
          katolickiej. Nikt tam nie robi problemów z wycieczek aborcyjnych do UK.

      Koleś poucza nas, że nie mamy dróg. Chcemy budować obwodnicę Augustowa, to się
      nas czepiają, że nie można, bo nie można bagna osuszyć i drzewek wycinać.
      W Irlandii wycieli większośc drzew i teraz są potęgą. Niemcy budowali
      autostrady karczując chaszcze i są potęgą. Holandia osuszyła bagna i jest
      potęgą... a my mamy tylko bagna.
      Ale optymistyczna jest końcówka... 13% naszej młodzierzy już wyjechała...
      jeszcze kilka lat i w Polsce zostaną same bagna, chszcze, mocher i ekologi.

      PREFACE
      IF THE EU WERE A PART of the United States of America, would it belong to the
      richest
      or the poorest group of states?
      At the beginning of the 1990s, there was no need to ask. Europe’s economic
      future was
      a subject of growing optimism. Productivity growth had for some decades been
      higher
      than in other countries of similar standing, and that growth was now going to
      be hugely
      accelerated by the elimination of trade barriers and the closer economic
      integration resulting
      from the Single Market. The EU as an institution was – and was undoubtedly seen
      as
      – a vehicle for growth and economic liberalisation. In other words, the EU was
      able to do
      what politicians in several member countries had wished for but had failed to
      achieve: to
      increase economic openness, to strengthen the process of competition, and
      harness the
      political process behind a liberal reform agenda.
      Today, the perspectives on the EU, and the outlook on its future, are radically
      different.
      Economic growth during the 1990s never became what many had wished for. Some
      countries performed reasonably well, most notably Ireland, but on the whole the
      EU
      was lagging far behind other countries during the whole decade. Productivity
      growth
      decreased and by mid-decade the EU was running behind the US in this respect.
      The
      process of convergence in productivity, a much talked-about process since the
      1970s,
      had once again become a process of divergence.
      The role, and status, of the EU in the economic reform process has also
      changed. Instead
      of a clear focus on economic reforms and growth, the EU (the Commission as well
      as the
      Council) has concentrated its ambitions on other political objectives. Hence,
      the EU no
      longer is – or is seen as – the great economic liberator of Europe. It is
      generally not
      performing as a vehicle for reforms, nor as leverage for policies that are
      needed but
      impossible to accomplish in the national political arenas.
      Is it possible to break the spell of economic stagnation in Europe? Yes,
      undoubtedly.
      But, alas, it seems highly improbable. The member countries have agreed on a
      relatively
      far-reaching reform agenda in the Lisbon accord (yes, in the modern European
      context it
      is far-reaching). But the agenda lacks impetus. Not to say a true awareness of
      the need
      of reforms. Worse still, many European politicians and opinion-formers seem
      totally
      unaware of the lagging performance of the EU economies and that a few percentage
      units lower growth will affect their welfare in comparison with other economies.
      Such is the background to this study on the differences in growth and welfare
      between
      Europe and the US. Too many politicians, policy-makers, and voters are
      continuing their
      long vacation from reality. On the one hand, they accept, or in some cases even
      prefer, a
      substantially lower growth than in the US. On the other hand, they still want
      us to enjoy
      the same luxuries and be able to afford the same welfare as Americans can.
      Needless to
      say, that is not possible. But the real political problem is that lower welfare
      standards –
      as with inequality in general – are a relative measure for most people. They
      are always
      viewed by comparison with others, and rarely in absolute terms. People would
      rather
      weep in the backseat of a new Mercedes than in the backseat of a second-hand
      Volkswagen.
      This study is based on a widely acclaimed and thought-provoking book – Sweden
      versus
      the US – that was published earlier this year in Swedish by the same authors –
      Dr. Fredrik
      Bergström, President of The Swedish Research Institute of Trade, and Mr. Robert
      Gidehag, formerly the Chief Economist of the same institute, and now President
      of the
      Swedish Taxpayers’ Association. The study presents important perspectives on
      European
      growth and welfare. Its highlight is the benchmark of EU member states and
      regions to
      US states. The disturbing result of that benchmark should put it at the top of
      the agenda
      for Europe’s future.

      1. INTRODUCTION
      THIS REPORT IS ABOUT THE FACT that per capita GDP is lower in most of the
      countries
      of Europe than in most of the states of the USA. That France, Italy and Germany
      have
      less per capita GDP than all but five of the states of the USA is probably
      something that
      messrs Chirac, Schröder and Berlusconi don’t wish to know. Or that Göran
      Persson is
      prime minister of a country which, if it were a part of the USA, would rank as
      one of
      the very poorest states in that Union? Can this be true? Is it plausible? It is
      both true and
      plausible. America’s GDP is far higher than Europe’s and has been so for a long
      time
      now, and the American economy has been growing faster than the economies of many
      European countries in recent decades, not least those of countries like France,
      Germany
      and Sweden. The US recession, with GDP growth rates of 1 or 2 per cent,
      represents
      almost boom conditions in Germany, for example. Europe may have its Eiffel Tower
      in Paris, its Coliseum in Rome, fine roads in Germany and social security
      systems in
      Sweden, but it will take more than past achievements to cope with the economic
      challenges which many European countries are facing. Economic challenges which
      among other things will be brought about by demographic developments and will
      impose heavy strains on comprehensive, publicly funded welfare systems.1
      Europe not having the same economic development as the USA, then, is a problem
      to the
      citizens of Europe, in that lack of good economic development prevents
      resources from
      being generated as profusely as they could. Resources which could be applied to
      augmenting
      opportunities for improving the material quality of life. Good economic growth
      is
      not only of importance for private purchasing power, it also creates better
      prospects of
      the public sector providing collectively funded services, because the tax base
      grows faster
      in a growth economy than in an economy with less growth.
      European economic debate is bedevilled among other things by a lack of insight
      into the
      real gravity of the situation in many European countries, and especially in
      many of the
      countries which have had far-reaching ambitions in the realm of welfare policy.
      Lack of
      insight means a risk of necessary growth reforms not being introduced. One
      important
      reason for this lack of insight is that to many people the debate conducted by
      economists
      on per capita GDP growth is too abstract and abstruse. How many peop
