Do you think that the progressives reforms of the period from 1900 to 1920 had an affect on the number of women and children in the workforce?

The progressive reforms of the period from 1900 to 1920 had an important effect on the number of women and children in the workforce. Before the Progressive Movement gained support, women and children worked in terrible conditions. They often earned very little, worked long hours and worked dangerous jobs. Moreover, they were paid less than men. The Progressive Movement addressed many of these issues. Thank to the policies that were implemented during these years, both employment conditions and wages improved significantly.

seeing as no choices were provided, i'll do my best to answer it from knowledge.

job specialization promotes work ethic to the person doing the job. he/she may be strong in the arms and able to lift things, specializing him/her in a job where you lift and carry.
