Question

Please help me with this question!!!!!!!!! Over the past twenty years the percentage of women in the labor force has increased dramatically. In recent years divorce rates, and the number of women and children officially classified as living in poverty have increased also. Some people maintain that higher percentages of women in the labor force reflect the fact that "times are tougher and it now takes two people to support a family." Others maintain that the feminist movement is the main reason for some of these changes. Almost everyone secs higher divorce rates and higher poverty rates for women and children as a serious social problem and increased human misery. Consider, however, that over the past twenty years real (inflation-adjusted) wage rates have increased in the United States, and that therefore the opportunity cost for women staying out of the labor force has risen. How might increasing female percentages in the labor force be accounted for by rational family decision-making processes? Is it more rational for women to opt for divorce now than it was twenty years ago? If women choose divorce, work, and income that is officially considered to be at poverty levels, are their lives necessarily worse?

Explanation / Answer

With increasing female percentanges in the labor force women is getting economically empowered. An economically empowered woman has both the ability to succeed and advance economically and the power to make and act on economic decisions and family decissions.

With women empowerment it is more rational for women to opt for divorce now than twenty years ago.

No, lives will not neccessarily be worse if the individual is neither a causal nor an unskilled labor, but the condition will be worse for a casula or unskilled labor.
