The editorial overview for Issue 10 introduces six articles covering: the puzzling post-2000 labour productivity slowdown in Canada; an international perspective on Canada’s productivity performance; the role of demographics and labour force growth in shaping productivity; whether European labour productivity levels actually exceed U.S. levels; productivity trends in Asia since 1980; and a review of two major books on the drivers of productivity — The Power of Productivity and Transforming the European Economy.

Cet aperçu éditorial pour le numéro 10 présente six articles portant sur : le déconcertant ralentissement de la productivité du travail au Canada après 2000; une perspective internationale sur la performance de productivité du Canada; le rôle de la démographie et de la croissance de la population active dans la productivité; la question de savoir si les niveaux de productivité du travail en Europe dépassent réellement ceux des États-Unis; les tendances de productivité en Asie depuis 1980; et une recension de deux grands ouvrages sur les facteurs de la productivité — The Power of Productivity et Transforming the European Economy.
