Which of the following statements best explains a limitation of GDP when assessing the overall productivity of an economy, particularly regarding household production?

Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, measures the total value of goods and services produced in a country, but it has limitations when assessing the overall productivity of an economy. One major limitation is that GDP does not account for household production, which includes valuable activities like cooking, cleaning, and childcare that families do at home. For example, if a parent stays home to take care of children instead of working for pay, their important contributions to the household are not reflected in GDP numbers. This means that GDP may underestimate the true productivity of an economy because it ignores the work done in households that supports society. Therefore, while GDP provides useful economic data, it does not capture the full picture of all productive activities occurring in a country.
