How Luxembourg compares
About this indicator
Labor productivity measures the amount of economic output produced per hour worked. In this indicator, it is calculated as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) divided by the total number of hours worked in the economy. Labor productivity indicates an economy's ability to create value from its workforce. This value increases when workers are supported by better tools and systems - for example, through investments in machinery, the adoption of new technologies, or organizational improvements - which allow for more output over time. Because it reflects the combined impact of these factors, labor productivity is a key determinant of long-term economic growth and rising living standards.
This indicator is expressed as GDP in constant 2020 international dollars per hour worked. Constant means that the values are adjusted for inflation, allowing meaningful comparisons over time by reflecting changes in real production rather than price changes. International dollars mean that the values are expressed using Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) based on the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar. PPP adjusts for differences in price levels across countries, so that one international dollar has the same purchasing power in any given country as one U.S. dollar has in the United States. As a result, labor productivity measured in constant international dollars allows more meaningful comparisons across countries and over time.
