Offering free public education to every worker in the country
| year | Physical Capital (fishing poles) | Labor force (workers) | Physical capital per worker (fishing poles) | Labor hours (Hours) | Output (Fish) | Labor productivity (Fish per hour of labor) |
| 2010 | 300 | 100 | 3 | 4000 | 36000 | 9 |
| 2011 | 480 | 120 | 4 | 4200 | 50400 | 12 |
Physical capital per worker = (Physical capital / Labor force)
Labor productivity = (Output / Labor hours)
Based on your calculations, an increase in physical capital per worker from 2024 to 2025 is associated with an increase in labour productivity from 2010 to 2011
following policies would lead to greater productivity in the fishing industry:
