ANS: A
Sixty-two percent of women with young children (younger than 6 years) work outside the home. Thus, it is most likely the woman will enter the workforce based on current trends. A working woman is less likely to have a spouse or partner to help with the home and children. Even when a spouse or partner is present, the burdens of housework and child care usually fall more heavily on women, regardless of ethnicity.
