Labor productivity : un tour d'horizon
HORTON, S. | KING, T.
Many official and unofficial statements by the World Bank and its staff have stressed that raising the productivity of the poor must be a central part of any effective strategy to promote economic development and eliminate absolute poverty, and much of its research focuses directly or indirectly on policy measures that might help to accomplish this. An important part of this paper is a survey of the state of knowledge and research about links between human development and labor productivity, emphasizing particularly health and nutrition. The paper draws certain conclusions for future research. We believe that relatively little is likely to be learned from further cross-national aggregate comparisons. Much more, however, might be learned from looking at the determinants of productivity across similar industries in different countries, and especially among matched firms and processes. In this direction, the most suggestive research so far has tended to look at developed rather than developing countries, and could well be extended to the latter.
