This paper puts forward an enhanced productivity measurement framework incorporating extra inputs that are both distinct and essential to current and future productivity growth – information and data, care and human services, and artificial intelligence.

Moving to a more authentic and comprehensive measure of productivity means recognising that not all value is immediate, monetised or measurable in output per hour terms. This paper outlines some practical, forward-looking approaches to ensure Australia's productivity framework reflects the true value of service-sector investments and supports better policy decisions in a time of transformation.
