Production refers to the volume, value or quantity of goods and services produced by a worker, plant, firm or economy. Its the sum total of the results achieved by the various factors together.

Productivity, on the other hand, is concerned not merely with the total value or volume of output of product, what is more important is that it shows us the efficiency of the production.

The difference between the two is when we find that all increases in production, does not necessairly result in increased productivity. If increase in total output is brought about with an increase in the input of factors of production, production will have increased, but productivity will only remain constant or low.

Keeping all factors same, when we achieve higher output, then it is called increased productivity.

In fact Productivity refers to the quality of production. The clear definition of Productivity is the ratio of output to aggregate inputs. As per the International Labour Organization, the aggregation, if done in monetory terms, gives the exact value of productivity. A bit of common sense can tell that productivity is valued higher than one..as output should be more than all the inputs put together.

However, it is not uncommon to hear the words labour productivity, material productivity etc. When such factors of production are referred with the word 'productivity', one has to understand that the evaluation of such factors with reference to production(output) is being done. In technical terms, we call them partial productivities. for example, Labour productivity means that the ratio of output to the corresponding labour input. This can be the out put achieved per man-hrs spent to get that output.

Why does an advance in technology increase supply?

because labor's or capital's productivity increases and costs of production fall


Why was Mass Production Invented?

Mass production was invented to increase productivity. Mass production revolutionized the manufacturing industry. Interchangeable parts became easier to make, which lowered the cost of items, ultimately increasing the profit for both the company and the customer. Mass production is used on almost every item you use on a day to day basis, from the Starbucks cup in your hand to the computer on your desk to the car you drive to the pencil you write with to the clothes you wear... You get the point.

Rank what you think are the three most important inventions of the industrial revolution. Explain your choices.?

The three most important inventions of the Industrial Revolution are the steam engine, the spinning jenny, and the power loom. The steam engine revolutionized transportation and manufacturing by enabling efficient movement of goods and people, significantly boosting productivity. The spinning jenny transformed the textile industry, allowing for faster and more efficient production of yarn, which was crucial for meeting the growing demand for textiles. Lastly, the power loom automated weaving, further enhancing productivity and leading to the mass production of fabric, thus fueling industrial growth and urbanization.

What is meant by labaur productivity and show how change in labor productivity may affect on economy production possibility curve?

When productivity changes, it affects the productive capacity of an economy. Labour, as an input in production, helps to determine total output produced. When labour productivity falls,that is ouput per labour per decreases goods then total production falls. The PPP (also known as the PPF) moves inward to represent the fewer production choices available. When labour productivity increases, the curve shifts outward to represents increased production and production choices.


What is the difference between production and productivity?

Production refers to the process of creating goods or services, while productivity measures the efficiency of this production process by comparing outputs to inputs, such as labor or resources used. In other words, production is the act of making something, while productivity is a measure of how well and efficiently that something is made.
