La croissance de l’emploi reste tirée par les emplois peu productifs

Si l’emploi est orienté à la hausse dans les pays de l'OCDE, la plupart des créations d’emplois interviennent encore dans des secteurs caractérisés par une productivité et des salaires relativement faibles, selon un nouveau rapport publié par l'OCDE.

Statistical Insights: Are international productivity gaps as large as we thought?

Labour productivity is a key indicator of economic wellbeing, and raising it – producing more goods and services from the same or less work (labour input) – is one of the main drivers of sustainable economic growth.

International productivity gaps: Are labour input measures comparable?

Statistics Working Paper N. 99 2018/12 - Cross-country differences in the measurement of labour input contribute to observed productivity gaps across countries. In most countries, labour force surveys (LFS) form a primary source of information for employment related statistics, such as persons employed, employees and hours worked...

Productivity measurement, R&D assets and mark-ups in OECD countries

Statistics Working Paper N. 93 2018/6 - A key feature of the 2008 revision of the System of National Accounts was the treatment of R&D expenditure as investment.

La croissance atone de la productivité du travail continue de porter préjudice aux économies avancées dans le monde entier et pourrait compromettre l’amélioration du niveau de vie, selon un nouveau rapport de l'OCDE.

Against a backdrop of slowing rates of measured productivity growth, this has raised questions about the conceptual basis of GDP and output...

Le ralentissement persistant de la croissance de la productivité pèse sur les niveaux de vie

Selon un nouveau rapport publié aujourd'hui par l'OCDE, le ralentissement de la croissance de la productivité – déjà amorcé avant la crise et conjugué à la faiblesse des investissements – a continué ces dernières années de saper l’augmentation de la production économique et des niveaux de vie matériels dans de nombreux pays du monde.

Has the labour share declined? It depends

Statistics Working Paper N. 77, 2017/1 - We revisit the issue of how best to measure the labour and capital shares in OECD economies, distinguishing between production- and income-based perspectives. The former adopts a producer perspective with gross income as a reference: it uses a production function in a market setting.

Measuring GDP in a digitalised economy

Statistics Working Paper N. 73, 2016/7 - Recent years have seen a rapid emergence of new disruptive technologies with new forms of intermediation, service provision and consumption, with digitalisation being a common characteristic. These include new platforms that facilitate Peer-to-Peer transactions, such as AirBnB and Uber, new activities such as crowd sourcing,...
