Productivity progress is to be produced the technical development of new kinds more economically. More technically the term productivity progress is used also in the meaning of "“growth rate of the productivity"” (whereby this growth rate than more largely zero is accepted), about than formula of the wage policy "“productivity progress plus inflation rate"”.

Examples

Demography

A substantially meaning factor of a society is the productivity of those. Just as as the society can be distributed gained. Since our society gains ever more, we can leave more people at the social wealth sharings. The fact that this productivity progress exists (which some disclaims the economy and policy), we can see on the basis different examples. Concrete example: A farmer in 19. Century supplied approx. 1.5 persons. Around 1950 a farmer supplied meanwhile approx. 14 persons and in the year 2001 rose the relation to 88 persons (regardless of of surplus and exports, which let this relation rise still further). This is an increase of over 500%. One can recognize similar size shifts in the being and service sector. From this follows: Our society produces more wealth, can supply therefore a larger "“age load quotient"” and "“child load quotient"”. We can recognize this statement also by the life situation in development and developing countries. There the average age is smaller and the population growth substantially higher, so that one prevails "„more favorable "“pro head relation. Nevertheless there no social development or social structure prevails. On the contrary: Not the relation between alto and young is the problem for the up or development of social systems, but the small creation of value and the backward production culture.

Agriculture

Example fertilizer: In the inorganic fertilizer or mineral fertilizer the fertilizing elements are present in the form of salts. Inorganic fertilizers are synthesized usually, speak chemically manufactured, or more rarely in the mining industry won. They made a large productivity progress possible in the agriculture and were today frequently used very. The synthetic fertilizers are problematic considering the enormous energy expenditure with the production.

A historicalphilosophical meaning is attached to the artificial fertilizer, because it disproved historicalpessimistic expectations as for instance of Thomas's Robert Malthus. The expected durable shortage of food with population growth without brakes did not occur anyhow in the industrialized countries, for the world altogether plays a Neo Malthusianismus however still another role.

Financial policy

Monetary borders come if necessary by a wage policy into the play, which implements wage increases beyond the productivity progress and so that causes an cost-induced inflation (inflation spiral). If the central bank reacts to it with a restrictive monetary policy, it comes to unwanted relating to market conditions interest increases. A promising global control must be secured therefore wage and monetary political. If this succeeds, distribution conflicts can be avoided however to a large extent.
