Abstract
Portugal needs to identify the main barriers to productivity, on the basis of detailed studies of selected sectors using the methodology employed, developed and applied by MGI in over 15 countries. This combines a set of broad analyses for the whole of the economy and for a detailed analysis of the work productivity in the different sectors of business activity.
Six barriers have been identified as the cause of the non-structural productivity differential, that is: informality, product regulation, land-use management and bureaucracy in the paperwork, the public administration, labour law and the industrial heritage.
