Can Good Work Solve Our Productivity Puzzle? | Andy Haldane | RSA Replay

Despite working longer hours, the UK produces less in five days than workers in Germany produce in four. Why does the UK perform so poorly on productivity?

There are many views on the productivity puzzle and how it can be resolved to drive up living standards in the UK. But less examined is the role played by good quality work. How might more jobs offering fair pay and terms and conditions, opportunities for training and progression, or good work-life balance, support workers to be more productive, as well as healthier and happier?

In a special event at the RSA, Andy Haldane, Chief Economist at the Bank of England, Tera Allas, Director of Research at McKinsey, Kate Bell, Head of Rights at the TUC and Sarah Davidson, CEO of the Carnegie Trust, gather to discuss how we can better exploit this link for the benefit of workers.
