Our commodity exports are still mainstays of our living standards but Australia’s economy is changing. As we move through the digital age, the services sector becomes more and more important as a source of output, employment and material prosperity. For the services sector to drive steadily rising living standards for all Australians – through higher wages and rising profits – it must generate steadily improving levels of productivity or output per worker. Only a highly productive services sector can sustain high-wage jobs and profitable businesses, large and small. Productivity in agriculture and manufacturing depends a great deal on scale and technological innovation. In the services sector, productivity depends on creativity and imagination, which in turn drive innovation. Increasingly the services sector is the home of start-ups aimed at finding innovative ways to deliver new and existing services to larger numbers of clients.
