Productivity Ecosystems for Decent Work South Africa

1. A primary determinant of wage growth and therefore living standards; 
2. A key element to ensure the sustainability of local businesses; 
3. Contributes to revenue growth of national and sub-national government; 
4. Both a pre-requisite for and a result of decent working conditions.
