Opening with a general framing of the topic, we examine what happened to labor force indicators for the period from 1960 to today.
Option 1: 'male employment-to-population ratio has been rising steadily.' Historically, the male EPR rose earlier in the postwar era but then plateaued and declined slightly or fluctuated in later decades. The long-run trend does not show a steady rise across the entire period, so this statement is not supported.
Option 2: 'female employment-to-population ratio has been fairly constant.' In reality, the female EPR rose markedly from 1960 onward as more women joined the workforce, with substantial increases through the late 20th century and into the 21st. A fairly constant level would mischaracterize this substantial growth, making this option incorrect.
Option 3: 'female labor force participation rate has been rising.' Over this span, participation by women in the labor force has increased significantly, especially from the 1960s onward, reflecting greater labor market participation and broader social changes. This option aligns with the observed trend and is correct.
Option 4: 'the employment-to-population ratio was generally rising during economic expansions and falling during recessions.' This behavior matches the typical cyclical pattern: EPR tends to increase when the economy expands and to dip during recessions as employment slows relative to the population. This description is accurate for the period in question and is correct.
