Answer to Question 1

By moving to the market, women's work is now counted in GDP while it was excluded before. This does point to an important omission in GDP. However, household production has not been included in GDP because of the difficulty in finding prices for these activities.

Answer to Question 2

An decrease in the demand for leisure would shift the labor supply curve to the right (up), which would decrease the real wage and increase the quantity of labor. This increase in the quantity of labor would lead to a movement along the production function towards higher output.
