International Experience in Assessing and Analysing Labour Productivity Indicators at the National and Regional Levels

It is statistically proven that high labour productivity ensures the competitiveness of the territory, the level and quality of life of the population. Therefore, policy makers are taking measures aimed to improve labour productivity both on national and regional levels. This policy needs scientific justification, so methodological issues are becoming more acute every day. The article presents a critical analysis of international experience in evaluating and analysing labour productivity indicators. The methods are classified and described in the article; the advantages and disadvantages of the methods are identified. In addition, the article provides examples of the empirical application of these methods.
