Productivity in Progress: Labour Productivity in Malaysia Over the Last Three Decades
Labour productivity is arguably one of the most important economic indicators that we have. It measures how much economic output each worker can produce over a period of time, usually taken to be a year. For a country, improvement in labour productivity means more goods and services can be produced with less workers and this underpins the potential for economic growth. For workers, increased productivity is the most important source of higher income and improvement in the standard of living. Over the long-term, sustained economic development hinges on the continued growth of labour productivity.
