Money Box Live: Raising Productivity

Available for over a year

Productivity has flat-lined in the last decade. That means for every hour Britons worked, there has been no increase in the amount of wealth produced. There are many reasons why, including the financial crisis and a lack of business investment. It's a problem for all of us because low productivity growth means low wages. And it doesn't look as though things are going to get better any time soon. Last week the Office for Budget Responsibility halved its estimates for future productivity growth. We'll hear why Britain performs worse than other developed countries when it comes to productivity and we'll ask how it can be improved. Have you got a solution?
