Which of the following factor(s) help explain the increase in demand for women in the workforce during WWII?

Question 11 options:

The easing of constraints on married women (i.e., marriage bars), which before the war prohibited firms from hiring married women.

A husband's absence meant that women had more free time, as they had less to do in the household.

Household labour income dropped substantially as men left the workforce to fight the war. As a result, women entered the workforce to make-up for the loss in household income.

Some women felt a patriotic duty to join the war effort.

All the above are reasons why demand for women rose during WWII.
