South Korea has doubled its productivity since 2000, surpassing Japan. Line chart showing productivity measured as GDP per hour of work from 2000 to 2023 for South Korea and Japan. Y axis labeled 0 dollars per hour to 60 dollars per hour; x axis shows years 2000 to 2023. South Korea’s line rises from a labeled point of $25 per hour in 2000 to a labeled point of $54 per hour in 2023, crossing and ending above Japan’s line. Japan’s line stays relatively flat, roughly in the range of about 45 to 52 dollars per hour with a small peak around 2010 and a slight decline afterward.
