What factors may lead to an outward shift of the production possibility cure How can an outward shift of the production possibility curve help in managing the problem of scarcity

An outward shift of the Production Possibility Curve (PPC) indicates economic growth, meaning an economy can produce more of all goods and services. This is primarily caused by an increase in the quantity or quality of resources (e.g., more labor, better capital, new natural resources) or by technological advancements that improve production efficiency.

An outward shift helps manage the problem of scarcity by expanding the economy's overall productive capacity. With more goods and services able to be produced, a society can satisfy a greater number of its unlimited wants and needs, thus alleviating the fundamental problem of having limited resources to meet unlimited desires.
