The increase in educational level of women (option ii) helped women enter the labor force with higher skills and earned higher wages. Additionally, technological change in the home (option iii) decreased the amount of time and effort required for household work, freeing up time for women to work outside the home. The fall in the number of children women chose to have (option i) may have played a role in increasing labor force participation for women, but it is not as significant as the other two factors. Therefore, options ii and iii are the best choices.
