Because SMEs typically have lower labour productivity, this may point to structural factors underpinning the productivity gap between the euro area and the United States.
Labour productivity has slowed sharply across OECD countries over the past decades and only a small share of“superstar firms” are benefiting from digitalisation.
Additionally, labor productivity in the 20th-century market was handled in terms of"achieving the same output while reducing invested resources" or"increasing output by efficiently utilizing invested resources.".
Assuming that the United States is a frontier of technological progress, Japan's labor productivity is still but 60 to 70 percent of the frontier level Slide 11.
Laos' minimum wage in nominal terms is quite competitive in the region, but labour productivity in the garment industry is significantly lower than that in neighbouring countries.
However, labor productivity in the nonmanufacturing sector as a whole continues to show higher growth than in the past, and has been exceeding the level seen before the Lehman shock.
Accenture predicts that by 2035, artificial intelligence“will double economic growth rates in 12 developed countries and boost labor productivity by up to 40 percent.”.
In the corporate sector, if there is a continuation of nonmanufacturing firms' innovations and fixed investment that I mentioned earlier, their labor productivity will rise further, which could lead to continuous improvement in the income outlook.
Japanese data for the last 10 years show that the working-age population declined by 0.3 percent year on year and labor productivity increased by 0.8 percent year on year. When combining these numbers, the real GDP growth rate increased by around 0.5 percent.
Because labor productivity growth in the nonmanufacturing sector has hardly improved over recent years, I project that the pace of increase in wages-- and hence that in consumption-- is likely to be moderate up through fiscal 2017.
Labor productivity is a division of work outcome by time, and so given the ongoing improvements being made with long working hours, I think what companies need to consider now is how to raise the quality of the numerator in that equation: the work.
Challenges toward creating innovation Shirai: What you just described with regard to working hours corresponds to the denominator in calculating labor productivity. If the creation of added value which represents the numerator increases, labor productivity will increase.
Labor productivity per worker has been growing steadily, albeit at a moderate pace, and this trend has been firmly taking hold despite such significant events as the Lehman shock and the Great East Japan Earthquake Chart 7.
However, since labor productivity is the ratio of aggregate value added to labor input costs, productivity growth could be improved if growth areas provide sufficient opportunities for the creation of high-value-added goods and services, so that firms can generate sufficient profits.
However, I think that in the 21st-century market, labor productivity will be oriented more toward"improving human resources that create new value and organizational performance through demonstration of creativity and innovative abilities" and"creation of value that was impossible within the restricted environments of departments and companies- and often with the participation of a broad range of employees and collaboration with external partners.
But at the end of the day,“the minimum wage is still quite low, and even if labor productivity is not as high in Vietnam, this low level of productivity does not justify the low wages,” Dennis McCornac, a professor of economics at Loyola University in Baltimore, Maryland, told Thanh Nien News.
