Growth and productivity

Growth and productivity are important concepts when discussing the economic level of a country. The production capacity of a country rests upon the human and technological resources that are available and how these resources are used – i.e. the productivity in the economy. The productivity level and the supply and input of production resources are dependent on a number of underlying conditions. To be able to understand and assess Swedish development, international comparisons are necessary. Statistics avaiable on the Eurostat and OECD websites.
