These results are demonstrated in the graph in Figure 1.1, above. This figure was produced using data from HM Treasury. In the period 2000-01 aggregate UK labour productivity performance (measured in terms of GDP per worker hour) was broadly unchanged against Worker Hour, UK=100] 1996 1.14 - fi- - France 1999 1998 2001 Germany, which fell from 127 to 125, and against the US, at 126. Over the same period and on the same measure UK labour productivity worsened considerably against France which rose from 127 to 133. This largely reflects the impact of the French 35-hour working week legislation and the resultant large fall in hours worked in France in 2001. These results are demonstrated in the graph in Figure 1.2, below. 150 —i-—— G7-UK 140 wanes @-- G7 130 —H— USA 120 ~ -(}- - Japan 110 e aM = a Yea ee #----- Germany os ee --a----i Se > eat 90 = Js {i--- = — + - France](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31849209_0023.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
