Labour productivity and unit labour costs in manufacturing: the UK and its competitors

National Institute Economic Review, 1994, vol. 148, 49-60

Abstract: In this note, I present and discuss comparisons of productivity and unit labour costs between the UK and a number of industrial countries. Initially results are discussed for the UK and its four largest industrial competitors: France, Germany, Japan and the United States, collectively the G5 countries. Later the comparisons are extended to eight other countries. Both growth rates and levels of productivity and unit labour costs are considered, comparisons of levels being far more difficult to make.
