  Productivity growth: Alarming decline in labour productivity growth in Arab States – but policy refo

The main reasons behind these downward trends in the Arab States region are the lack of economic diversification with a reliance on low productivity sectors, an inability to invest fiscal gains in promoting productivity growth, and a lack of investing in skilling the labour force to meet new labour market needs, explained Paolo Salvai, ILO Senior Employers’ Specialist for the Arab States, who led development of the report alongside ILO Employers' Activities Officer Jose Luis Viveros Añorve. (...) Business leaders also pointed to inadequate market size. With the region’s exports only reaching one third of their potential, the report estimates that fostering regional integration by removing trade barriers and creating single market areas could increase the region’s export potential dramatically. (...) A second priority recommendation is to better align investment in skills and education with national industrial and productive development policies, and to ensure that education systems anticipate and prepare for future labour market needs.
