Good prospects for participation in 2015/2016
The indicator TBI measures past and future conditions under which participation can be realised. First results show that participation conditions have shown a general upward tendency since 2006. The improvement of participation conditions will continue till the end of 2016. Afterwards, the TBI will gradually decline reaching the zero line in 2021, which is mainly caused by a slow-down of the initially very positive economic situation. However, participation conditions are not likely to decline to a level as low as in the mid-2000s.
