Summary Productivity growth has been slowing down globally in recent years in light of heightened economic crises and geopolitical tensions. This book puts the issue of low productivity growth in small countries under a microscope, exploring Jamaica⁰́₉s productivity challenges in its quest to achieve its United Nation Sustainable Developmental Goals. Overall, this book provides useful examples of handicaps that small countries face and proposes different approaches in finding plausible solutions to their overarching productivity challenges. This study provides useful lessons to other countries, as well, which would like to transition from developing to developed and to better the lives of their citizens. Andre Haughton is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of the West Indies Mona with a research focus on international economics and applied macroeconomics. He is a former Senator in Jamaica and an International Monetary Fund Distinguished Academic Fellow who earned his Ph.D. from the University of Essex (UK). Wendel Ivey is an Economist in the Research and Economic Programming Division at the Bank of Jamaica and formerly a Senior Research Analyst at the Jamaica Productivity Centre. He holds a MSc in Economics from the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus with a focus on Economic Development and International Economics. .
