Labour Productivity Growth in the Industrial Sector of Indonesia: Structural Bonus or Structural Burden?

Abstract

The economic structural change on the output side is accompanied by the reallocation of labour from the agricultural sector to the industrial sector. Some studies show the different effects of labour reallocation on labour productivity growth. This study analyses labour productivity growth in the manufacturing sector in relation to economic structural changes in Indonesia. The analytical methods used are shiftshare and panel data regression models using secondary data of 30 provinces from 2003-2014. The results show economic structural change through labour reallocation decreases growth of labour productivity (structural burden) although productivity continues to grow.

Business Efficiency and Business Performance of Coconut Sugar Smes in Banyumas Regency

“…Adequate work experience with better educational support will be able to determine one's ability to think, reason, and innovate to encourage business development.

“…The existence of social capital is very important in supporting the optimization of human capital and financial capital of MSMEs to improve business performance.

Já Singh (2004) Para o caso da economia como um todo, ao levantar também a questão da mudança estrutural via aumento da participação dos serviços, a maioria dos estudos observam a tendência de ônus estrutural (TIMMER; VRIES, 2009;VRIES, 2015;PADILLA-PÉREZ;VILLARREAL, 2017;BADRIAH et al, 2019). Ao analisar 19 países da Ásia e América Latina entre 1950 e 2005, Timmer e Vries (2009) chegam à conclusão de que o crescimento agregado é explicado pelo aumento da produtividade nos setores, e não pela realocação do emprego para setores mais produtivos.…”
