Productivity is typically measured in GDP, a metric which can be gamed.

If I spend a day doing my garden and my neighbour spends a day painting his kitchen, nothing is added to GDP

If I pay my neighbour to do my garden and he pays me to do my kitchen then GDP increases.

If I work longer and spend that money on child care that increases GDP but not quality of life.
