CAPRI unveils its findings today
The Caribbean Policy Research Institute (CAPRI) has interrogated Jamaica’s growthless jobs phenomenon in its latest academic study.
The study provides a possible explanation for why Jamaica’s recent employment growth has not resulted in commensurate increases in gross domestic product.
The study, titled ‘Growthless Jobs: The Paradox of Rising Employment and Stagnant Output,’ and its findings will be unveiled at 9:00 pm when the document will have an online launch and panel discussion.
Lead Researcher Ronaldo Blake will deliver a presentation that investigates the nature of the jobs created, and explore possible explanations for the unrealised economic growth and falling productivity.
Following the presentation, CAPRI Executive Director Dr Damien King will moderate a panel discussion, where he will be joined by Blake and Diane Edwards, director of MSBM Consulting, an affiliate of the Mona School of Business and Management.
