Del pasmo al marasmo : El sector de la construcción y su relación con la crisis del empleo

Abstract

This article examines the evolution of the construction sector using the employment perspective. For that, it adopts two relevant points of view: one is temporal, which leads to the analysis of the evolution of the sectoral structure, in general, and of the employment level of construction and related economic activities, in particular, in Spain during the last decades; the other perspective is the international, which implies comparing Spain with other countries (especially, European countries) and inquiring whether the Spanish case has been so different from the rest.
