What can be one common reason for low work participation of women?

Correct answer: Lack of workplace safety and childcare or dependent-care facilities

When safe transport, workplace safety, or childcare and dependent-care support are unavailable, many women may find it difficult to take up or continue paid work. Therefore, option A is a common reason for lower work participation. Equal pay, training, and flexible work arrangements generally support participation rather than reduce it. Exam tip: distinguish barriers from measures that enable employment.
