Rarely a week goes by without some sort of headline proclaiming the woes of New Zealand’s ‘low productivity’.
It’s a phrase that has been discussed by economists and politicians for years, and was a particular bug-bear of Sir John Key.
The Herald’s very own Liam Dann is the latest columnist to highlight it as a potential cause for some of our economic problems.
But what exactly does low productivity mean, how does it impact your back pocket, and why do we struggle to do anything about it?
Today on The Front Page, Liam Dann joins us to explain the issue, and what we might be able to do about it.

You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
