Age and productivity : a sector perspective by Gan, Geraldine Xinya, Shia, Lisong, Yang, Fan

“…We theorize that different demands of the labour force necessitated by the different sectors results in varying productivity profiles. The findings that an expansion of the service industry will likely flatten the overall productivity profile suggest a relatively flat profile of the service industry. …”
