A Firm Level Analysis of Labor Productivity in Switzerland

Key Points

Labor productivity in Switzerland is higher than in many advanced economies, yet varies significantly by sector and firm size.
Multinational enterprises are key drivers of increased productivity, while small firms and the services sector experience lower levels.
Policies aimed at firm scale-up, addressing labor shortages, and fostering competition are essential for sustained productivity growth.
The analysis emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to support smaller firms and optimize labor productivity across all sectors.

Abstract

Switzerland’s labor productivity is generally higher than that in other advanced economy peers, although with significant variation across sectors and firm sizes. Multinational enterprises drive average productivity upwards, while small firms and the services sector lag. Adapting to the evolving global structure and ensuring sustained labor productivity growth require policies to support firm scale-up, address labor shortages, and enhance competition.
