Productivity, innovation adoption and standard of living are intrinsically linked. Due to lagging productivity, Canada’s standard of living has dramatically declined — a trend felt by individuals, communities and businesses across the country.
Join Armine Yalnizyan, Canadian economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers, for the third lecture in The Canadian Standard of Living, Productivity and Innovation series. This hybrid event will offer:
- A deeper understanding of how technological innovation is shaping Canada's long-term productivity
- How social challenges like inequality are affecting Canada's path to growth
- Expert perspective and discussion with a special guest and closing remarks from Savvas Chamberlain
In-person attendees are invited to arrive at 5:00 p.m. for networking and refreshments. The lecture will begin promptly at 5:45 p.m. for online and in-person attendees.
