I agree with your answers for #1. I'd double check your answer about productivity for businesses. I do agree with your answers 1 & 3.
For government, I think there are better answers. Here are some articles that should help you:

For business could I put instead of 2) Lack of workers effects productivity, I put 2) Less demand for goods and services, and for Government 1)Fewer tax revenues and 2)Higher welfare costs?
