In particular, they show that services have exhibited unconditional convergence in productivity recently. That is, countries furthest away from the global frontier of labor productivity have seen the fastest productivity growth in services.

As a result, it was difficult to reconcile a high vacancy rate in the posts authorized under the programme budget with the high delivery rate of programmed and additional outputs

This is reflected in the ratio between additional and programmed outputs.

Ratio of additional to programmed output in parliamentary services

Mortality from miscarriage is 25 per cent above standard age adjusted rates (England and Wales) and mortality from septicaemia is 18 times higher than the standard.

The unspent balance of 30,000 relates to a higher than budgeted vacancy rate.

Furthermore, both the employment (62.7 percent) and participation rates (67.6 percent) are at record levels as the economy nears its sustainable rate of output and employment growth.

39. Table 5 shows the delivered outputs by major programme as a proportion of the number of outputs that had originally been programmed.

A Technical Group (TG) on Cesareans was created to define strategies to reduce cesarean birth rates.

The driving forces had been identified as the search for markets, resources, efficiency and strategic assets.

Improving productivity

An additional criterion is a ratio of present value of debt to government revenue of 280 per cent (together with additional conditions related to a ratio of government revenue to gross domestic product (GDP) of 20 per cent and a ratio of exports to GDP of 40 per cent).

Industrial output will grow at a rate of 1.5 to 2 per cent above the projected estimate.

Evolution of abortion rate.

Comparative statistics on the output and productivity of regular and temporary assistance staff are now available.

The rate of infantile mortality is still high, that's 135 deaths per 1000 living births, and the index of perinatal mortality, that is delayed loss of pregnancy, stillbirths or deaths in the first week of birth, reaches 70 per 100 births, or approximately 01 woman out of 13.

The ratios of debt service to exports and debt stock to GNP also point towards an improved position.

So you don't want to optimize for efficiency, you want to optimize for power per dollar.

Guatemala's debt service as a percentage of its exports of goods and services (indicator 42) is one of the lowest in the region.

Standards of immunization coverage, the live birth rate, nutrition and food security and infrastructure had declined drastically in the areas under occupation.

Preventing and providing care for genital cancer and reproductive health problems among the elderly.

Maternal Mortality rate per 100,000 live births

The measures analysed here, which emerge from a basis of organizational learning and from managers' efforts to continuously improve processes, are fashioning a more efficient and productive Secretariat.

The infant mortality rate was only 17 per 1,000 live births, and Sri Lanka had achieved the Goal for maternal mortality rates also.

To that end, the issue of tariff peaks and tariff escalation as regards products of special export interest to African countries needs to be adequately addressed.

Thus, in 2000, even the regions that had previously shown high fertility rates experienced a significant decrease.

As it stands, productivity in services is six times lower than in manufacturing. The operations of South Korea s chaebols which dominate production, if not employment should be adjusted to support productivity gains in the increasingly dominant services sector.

Productivity growth is not about working longer it is about generating more output per unit of labor input. Any undercounting of output pales in comparison with the IT assisted undercounting of working hours.

Paying for Productivity

Rates per 1,000 live births.

Because labor productivity...

Maternal mortality is estimated to be among the highest in the world, at 1,600 per 100,000 live births.

Productivity methods are being promoted through the Department of Management's Productivity Handbook, and offices' productivity innovations are recognized through the UN 21 awards programme.

Moreover, the bias toward manufacturing and export industries leads to a severe misallocation of capital. Less efficient industrial sectors have accumulated significant excess capacity, destabilizing the entire economy, while more productive, efficient sectors lack access to the resources they need.

Responding to ageing in advance would enable countries to reap the demographic dividend produced by reduced fertility rates.
