Reflexões sobre reportagem da 'Economist' que chama os brasileiros de improdutivos | G1 - Natureza - Nova Ética Social. Feriado após feriado... e muita gente trocou, por quase uma semana, a rotina trabalho/casa/trabalho. Considerando que, logo no início do mês, tem outro day off caindo numa quinta-feira, o 1º de Maio, será mais uma semana reduzida à metade. Muita gente comemora e vai comemorar ainda mais, porque com a Copa do Mundo... haja feriadão batendo à porta. O fenômeno talvez tenha inspirado os jornalistas da sisuda revista “The Economist”, que na semana passada publicou uma reportagem pouco simpática aos brasileiros.
Com o título “A soneca de 50 anos”, o texto conclui que não somos produtivos. Para quem gosta de números: em comparação com as outras economias emergentes, no Brasil a produtividade do trabalho foi responsável por 40% do aumento do PIB entre 1990 e 2012 enquanto na China foi 91% e na Índia, 67%. Para que a nossa economia realmente deslanche, diz o texto, é preciso sair do torpor. Trabalho o tempo todo. . - Cheguei atrasada, o chefe estava de cara amarrada para mim. Michael Renner.

Previously, he co-managed with Erik Assadourian the 2012 edition. He also manages the Institute's Vital Signs series, an online and print publication.

The New Economics Foundation (NEF) is a British think-tank that promotes social, economic and environmental justice.[1] NEF was founded in 1986 by the leaders of The Other Economic Summit (TOES) with the aim of working for a "new model of wealth creation, based on equality, diversity and economic stability".[2] The foundation has 50 staff in London and is active at a range of different levels.
Its programmes include work on well-being, its own kinds of measurement and evaluation, sustainable local regeneration, its own forms of finance and business models, sustainable public services, and the economics of climate change.

From 1995 to 2000 NEF made social audits of companies to measure and evaluate a company's social and ethical performance according to its standards.
