Abstract: It is widely recognized that Canada's productivity performance in recent years has been at best mediocre. But productivity is a complex issue, and the public understanding of the subject, even among professionals, is poor. The objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive but accessible account of the productivity landscape in Canada, including productivity developments and proximate explanations of trends. The article provides an overview of the basic concepts, metrics, trends, and types of analysis found in productivity discussion in this country.
