In its submission, the ESRI stated that productivity in both economies, North and South, is on a par in 2000. Over the past 20 years or so, it increased here and decreased there. As a result, the gap got wider. Dr. Bergin said some things could be done immediately like low-hanging fruit to address that. She said it is to do with educational attainment and a lack of investment. Both need to be done together to address the issue. Will she provide examples of the low-hanging fruit?
