another way of looking at it:
What is the rate/percentage of reduction in productivity.
('is involved' indicating that the question refers to a situation that is mentioned just before. )

so \'is involved\' refers to the particular situation during/on the time period/date that you indicate in your answer to the previous question.

they are trying to evaluate the impact of something on productivity
They want to know by what quantum the productivity will come down. Based on this information they will take decision regarding something.
If the decline is nominal, they could probably ignore the problem, if it is substantial, they will have to initiate remedial action, something like that.

Discussion
Dear Sonia Geerlings: the before sentence is: when is the productivity declining? and the next one is: how serious is the decline in productivity?
