Answer 2

Answer: The scenario illustrates the benefits of higher productivity for workers in the following way: Norwegian workers are able to get more work done in less time than workers in many countries. Despite having an average workweek of 38 hours and ending their workday at 4 p.m., Norwegian workers still contribute a significant amount to the country's GDP per hour worked. This suggests that they are highly efficient and productive during their working hours. By being more productive, Norwegian workers can accomplish their tasks effectively within a shorter timeframe, allowing them to have more time for non-work activities. This balance between high productivity and shorter working hours showcases the benefits of increased efficiency and time management, leading to improved work-life balance and quality of life for Norwegian workers.
