Productivity

Increased productivity has been a key factor in the nation's economic growth and improving standards of living over the last 25 years. However, despite technological change, Australia's level of productivity growth has been declining since the mid 1990s.

With an ageing population reducing the number of workers in the workforce, productivity and efficiency are significant issues that needed to be examined.

CEDA will look at a range of issues surrounding productivity including innovation, workplace flexibility and the sustained competition for skills during 2012 to answer the question, how can we do more with less?

In CEDA's annual Economic and Political Overview (EPO) for 2012, productivity was addressed as a key item.
