Explanation of Solution

The labor productivity and aggregate hours play an important role in transforming a poor country into a rich one.

Labor productivity will increase the individual potential of the person, and thereby increase their individual earnings. This would as a result benefit the economy from higher disposable income to higher purchasing power through consumption and thereby improve the real GDP for the whole economy and at individual level as well.

The aggregate hours would be in accordance and thereby would fluctuate according to the productivity levels. The more the aggregate hours worked the better is the real GDP per person and ultimately better is the economy.
