Abstract: Articles published in the International Productivity Monitor have traditionally focused on the production sphere of economic activity and have seldom addressed the relationship between productivity and well-being. Recognizing the increasing attention to well-being issues by economists, government and the general public, this issue of the IPM goes some way to remedy this past lack of attention to well-being by publishing a first symposium of four articles on productivity-well-being linkages. A second symposium of three articles on the same topic will appear in the next issue of the International Productivity Monitor. This introduction discusses the background and motivation of the symposium, the organizational process, highlights key issues related to productivity-well-being linkages, and provides a detailed synthesis of the contributions of the four articles.
