Assessing Education and Productivity

Abstract

As one of the driving forces in the economy, education allows for a country to increase its productivity through human capital development and innovation, as well as creating productivity improvement and fostering productivity centered behaviours. In a Belgian report Kampelmann et al. (2018), examine how education impacts productivity. The results showed that high and middle educated workers were significantly more productive than workers with lower educational levels. This study highlights the positive correlation between educational levels and productivity.
