The growth in real wages accelerated after 2010, reflecting tight labour market conditions and skills shortages (OECD, 2013a). However, unemployment has been on the rise since early 2015 (OECD, 2015b). The economic structure has shifted towards stronger reliance on services in recent decades while the share of the primary sector and industry in value added has declined. Nevertheless, the primary sector accounts for a larger share of GDP than in OECD countries (see Basic Statistics) and remains a mainstay of the economy.
