Increased Labour productivity reduces poverty.

Abstract

The article titled "Increased Labour Productivity Reduces Poverty" by M. Azizur Rahman published in The Daily New Nation on April 6, 2013, examines the critical link between labour productivity and poverty reduction in Bangladesh. It argues that enhancing productivity—particularly through investments in education, skills development, and technological innovation—can lead to higher wages, improved employment opportunities, and more inclusive economic growth. The piece highlights that productivity gains can help transition workers from informal to formal sectors, thereby improving job security and income stability. By fostering a more efficient and skilled workforce, the article suggests that Bangladesh can accelerate its poverty alleviation efforts and achieve sustainable development goals.
