The Commission’s 5-year Productivity Inquiry lays out a comprehensive reform agenda. There is no easy answer, but we need to address this challenge to secure Australia’s future prosperity.” Economies around the world are grappling with the same issues. “It has traditionally been difficult to lift productivity in these sectors. Almost 90% of Australians now work in service industries, including education, health, hospitality, retail and finance,” Productivity Commission Chair, Michael Brennan said. If Australia is to continue to grow its economy and increase individual prosperity, productivity policy should focus on key emerging trends like the shift towards service industries, according to the final report of the Productivity Commission’s 5-year Productivity Inquiry.
