提高生产率是经济增长的关键新加坡作为全世界发展中国家的楷模之一,在1965年～1984年的20年间创造了年均9.5％的高速经济增长率。但是,1985年新加坡的经济增长率却为负数,国民生产总值减少1.8％,1986年一季度又比上年同期减少3.4％,至今尚未摆脱困境。新加坡经济衰退的原因很多,但其中较重要的一条就是因为生产率下降。生产率的下降必然造成经济增长率的下降。从1981年开始,新加坡的生产率(特别是劳动生产率)的增长速度就低于南朝鲜、台湾和香港,从而造成劳动费用上升,而劳动费用上升又削弱了出口竞争能力,最终又导致以出口为支柱的整个经济的衰退。它再一次向发展中国家证明了提高生产率的重要性。
Increasing productivity as a key to economic growth As one of the role models for developing countries in the world, Singapore created a high-speed economic growth rate of 9.5% per annum in the 20 years between 1965 and 1984. However, in 1985, Singapore’s economic growth rate was negative while its gross national product decreased by 1.8%. In the first quarter of 1986, it dropped by 3.4% over the same period of last year. It has yet to get out of the woods. There are many reasons for the economic downturn in Singapore, but one of the more important ones is the decline in productivity. The decline in productivity inevitably leads to a decline in the rate of economic growth. Since 1981, Singapore’s productivity (especially labor productivity) has been growing at a lower rate than that of South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, resulting in an increase in labor costs, which in turn undermined its export competitiveness and eventually led to an increase in exports Pillar of the entire economic recession. Once again, it proved to developing countries the importance of raising productivity.
