labour-productivity growth
Definition English:
Labour productivity is defined as output per unit of labour input. Economic growth in an economy or a sector can be ascribed either to increased employment or to more effective work by those who are employed. The latter can be described through statistics on labour productivity. The driving forces behind improvements in labour productivity are the accumulation of machinery and equipment, improvements in organization as well as physical and institutional infrastructures, improved health and skills of workers (“human capital”) and the generation of new technology.
