Description

Künftig müssen weniger Erwerbstätige mehr erwirtschaften, um das vergangene Wachstum des Lebensstandards zumindest aufrecht zu erhalten. Dafür müssen Produktivität und Innovationskraft in Deutschland stärker zulegen als bisher - andernfalls droht eine Halbierung des Potenzialwachstums bis 2035. Doch die erforderlichen Anstrengungen unterscheiden sich deutlich zwischen den Bundesländern.

Cover Inclusive Productivity

The aim of the "Inclusive Productivity" project was to bring into the public debate an issue that is crucial for the social market economy and yet often underestimated: the increasing inequality in productivity development between companies and regions. During the project period from 2018 to early 2022, the aim was firstly to understand what the causes and consequences of this growing inequality are. On the other hand, options were developed as to what economic policy can do to increase productivity growth across the corporate landscape and thus also counteract social divisive tendencies.
