A programme of infrastructure improvements is expected to affect Calidora's productive capacity. Economists have made the following forecasts for the whole economy.
| Current year | Next year | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of workers | 8.0 million | 7.6 million |
| Annual real output per worker | £45,000 | £48,000 |
What can be concluded about Calidora's economic growth from the current year to the next year?
Real output will be unchanged, as the two forecast changes cancel each other out.
Real output will fall, as the smaller workforce more than offsets higher output per worker.
Real output will rise, as higher output per worker more than offsets the smaller workforce.
The change in real output cannot be determined from workforce and output-per-worker data.
