We look at the developments in GDP and the labour market since the economic downturn in Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2008. During this period, GDP has grown by a similar amount to both employment and total hours worked. This implies a relatively flat productivity growth.

Estimates of material consumption in the UK from 2000 to 2013, taking the extraction of raw materials and physical imports and exports into account. It explores how much material is consumed per person and shows how material consumption relates to economic activity (known as ‘resource productivity’). Comparisons with European estimates are also presented.

Presents initial findings from a review of data sources and methods used in estimating output of the Information Communication and Telecommunications Industries, with a focus on the Telecommunications Industry. This review was conducted in collaboration with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Ofcom, ONS Research Fellows, members of the academia and industry experts, and concludes that the quality adjustment of prices of technology products should be further developed to improve GDP and productivity estimates.

Development of new labour market metrics covering market sector employment, hours worked and labour remuneration, which have been compiled at component-industry level for the first time. The primary motivation for this development work is to populate a new industry-level market sector quality-adjusted labour input (QALI) framework to allow more rigorous estimation of market sector multi-factor productivity (MFP).

Quality Adjusted Labour Input (QALI) is a method of measuring changes in the volume of labour input into production which accounts for changes in the composition (or ‘quality’) of the workforce as well as changes in hours worked. This article presents new estimates for 2014 for the whole economy, the market sector and a range of sub-aggregates by industry, educational qualifications, age and gender, as well as revisions to the back series. QALI provides a more comprehensive description of labour input to the production process than pure volume metrics such as hours worked, jobs or workers employed. The strength of these metrics relative to output growth since the economic downturn has come to be referred to as the "productivity puzzle". If labour quality had fallen over this period, then this would have offered a partial explanation of the puzzle. The new estimates show that labour quality did fall - fractionally - in 2014. This was the first decrease in labour quality on an annual basis since comparable QALI estimates began in 1994, and followed only a small rise in labour quality in 2013. However, these estimates suggest only that labour quality has stopped exacerbating the productivity puzzle; they do not explain it.

Statistics relating to productivity are vital to understanding the economy and how it changes.
These pages bring together our productivity publications relating to productivity measures and theories, explaining how they are sourced and formulated.
As such, they provide a valuable resource for anyone investigating how productivity is measured and influenced.
