In 2022, India’s labor productivity growth rate was **** percent, a decline from the previous year. The growth rate of labor productivity has almost halved since 2011, having reached its peak in 2016. Labor productivity measures the hourly output of a country's economy, and its growth is based on human capital, saving, investing in physical capital, and the use of new technology. Do long work hours lead to better productivity? While many top executives in India have advocated working long hours, this has not positively correlated with labor productivity. According to economic theory, working long hours leads to diminishing returns. Long working hours also present an obstacle to upskilling, which is considered a low-pay trap for employees and the country. Reasons for low labor productivity in India Labor productivity, measuring the labor efficiency in producing goods and services, is an important indicator of economic growth, competitiveness, and living standards. Factors attributed to low productivity in India include deteriorating quality of labor rooted in the education system, skilling, and employability. A holistic approach addressing gaps in the education system, promoting technological advancements, and implementing comprehensive labor market reforms can enhance the country’s competitiveness and foster economic growth.

This dataset provides statistics on labour productivity, for large regions (TL2) and small regions (TL3).

Data source and definition

Labour productivity is measured as gross value added per employment at place of work by main economic activity. Regional gross value added and employment data are collected from Eurostat (reg_eco10) for EU countries and via delegates of the OECD Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI), as well as from national statistical offices' websites. In order to allow comparability over time and across countries, labour productivity data in current prices are transformed into constant prices and PPP measures (link).

Definition of regions

Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). The OECD regions are presented in the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and in the OECD Territorial correspondence table (xlsx).

Use of economic data on small regions

When economic analyses are carried out at the TL3 level, it is advisable to aggregate data at the metropolitan region level when several TL3 regions are associated to the same metropolitan region. Metropolitan regions combine TL3 regions when 50% or more of the regional population live in a functionnal urban areas above 250 000 inhabitants. This approach corrects the distortions created by commuting, see the list of OECD metropolitan regions (xlsx) and the EU methodology (link).

Small regions (TL3) are categorized based on shared characteristics into regional typologies. See the economic indicators aggregated by territorial typology at country level on the access to City typology (link) and by urban-rural typology (link).

Global Workforce Productivity Systems Market Definition

The number of goods and services produced by a group of workers in a given amount of time is known as workforce productivity. It is one of several productivity measures used by economists. A measure of an organization or company, a process, an industry, or a country is workforce productivity, also known as labor productivity. Employee productivity, on the other hand, is a measure used at the individual level based on the assumption that overall productivity can be broken down into increasingly smaller units until, eventually, the individual employee, to be used for purposes such as allocating a benefit or sanction based on individual performance (see also: Vitality curve).

The labour productivity = GDP/ETO with GDP = Gross domestic product, chain-linked volumes reference year 2015 ETO = Total employment, all industries, in persons The GDP per person employed is intended to give an overall impression of the productivity of national economies expressed in relation to the European Union average.

Employee Goal Setting Software Market Outlook

The global employee goal setting software market size was valued at approximately USD 1.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 3.9 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2032. This growth can be attributed to the increasing emphasis on performance management and the alignment of organizational goals with employee performance metrics, which is driving the adoption of these software solutions across various industry verticals.

One of the major growth factors of the employee goal setting software market is the rising need for organizations to streamline their performance management processes. As businesses continue to expand globally, the complexity of managing employee performance increases, making traditional methods inefficient. This software provides a centralized platform where goals can be set, tracked, and adjusted in real-time, promoting transparency and accountability among employees. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital tools as remote work became the norm, further driving the demand for goal setting software to maintain productivity and engagement.

Another significant growth driver is the increasing focus on employee engagement and satisfaction. Research has shown that when employees have clear, attainable goals and receive regular feedback, their job satisfaction and productivity improve. Employee goal setting software facilitates continuous feedback and performance reviews, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and engagement. This is particularly important in today's competitive job market, where retaining top talent is crucial for organizational success. Companies are increasingly investing in these tools to enhance their talent management strategies and create a more motivated and productive workforce.

The integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into employee goal setting software is also propelling market growth. These technologies enable predictive analytics and personalized goal recommendations, making the goal-setting process more efficient and effective. AI-powered insights can help managers identify potential performance issues early and provide actionable recommendations to mitigate them. This not only enhances the accuracy of performance evaluations but also supports better decision-making and strategic planning within organizations.

From a regional perspective, North America holds the largest market share due to the high adoption rate of advanced performance management solutions and the presence of key market players. However, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in countries like China and India, coupled with growing awareness about the benefits of goal setting software, is driving market growth in this region. Additionally, the rapid digital transformation and increasing investments in employee engagement tools further contribute to the market expansion in Asia Pacific.

In addition to goal setting, organizations are increasingly turning to Career Pathing Software to support employee development and retention. This type of software allows employees to visualize their career trajectory within the company, helping them understand the skills and experiences needed to advance. By providing a clear roadmap for career growth, companies can increase employee engagement and reduce turnover. Career Pathing Software complements goal setting tools by aligning individual career aspirations with organizational objectives, fostering a more motivated and committed workforce. As businesses strive to retain top talent in a competitive market, integrating career pathing solutions has become a strategic priority.

Component Analysis

The employee goal setting software market can be segmented by component into software and services. The software segment includes the actual goal setting platforms and applications that organizations use to manage employee performance. This segment is expected to dominate the market due to the increasing demand for automated and centralized performance management systems. Software solutions offer numerous features such as goal tracking, performance analytics, and integration with other HR systems, making them indispensable tools for modern businesses.
