08 Jul 2020 --- Chronic underinvestment in fighting malnutrition and obesity in the workforce costs businesses in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) up to US$850 billion per year in productivity losses. This is the main finding of a new report entitled The Business Case for Investment in Nutrition, published by Chatham House and Vivid Economics. It highlights that it is in the interest of businesses to improve nutritional outcomes among their workers as an “investment in tomorrow’s workforce” – whether signs of malnutrition are visible throughout the workforce or not.
