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 paper estimates the impact of daily weather on worker productivity by using household survey data to study interviewers. Using data from over 9,000 Demographic and Health Survey interviewers in 46 countries, I find that interviewers complete 13.6 percent fewer interviews per hour on the hottest and most humid days. Workers maintain the same total output by starting earlier in the day and spending more time on each interview at the expense of spending more hours in the field with the same total pay. In addition, interviewers become differentially less productive on tasks that are less easily monitored. These findings are important not only because temperatures are predicted to rise significantly over the next century, but also because they shed light on how adaptation by workers to adverse conditions can be costly in ways not captured by aggregate productivity measures such as GDP.
