Ireland Scores Well For Productivity According to ILO
According to a study undertaken by the United Nations affiliated International
Labour Organisation (ILO), Ireland's workforce has been found to be the third
most productive in the world after the United States and Belgium. Compared to the last survey carried out two years ago, Ireland's productivity
rates have increased by more than 2%, comfortably higher than the European average
which rose by 1.2% in the same period; and the average output per employee in
Ireland was found to be worth some $52,500. When measured by productivity per hour however, Ireland fared slightly worse,
though it was still positioned a very creditable fifth behind Norway, France, Belgium,
and the United States. The International Labour Organization is a UN agency which seeks
the promotion of social justice and internationally recognized human and labour
rights. Founded in 1919, it is the only surviving major creation of the Treaty
of Versailles which brought the League of Nations into being, and it became
the first specialised agency of the UN in 1946. .
