Factors that have contributed to the increase in women's labor-force participation rate in the U.S. include the following, except:
O access to a wider range of job opportunities.
O better education and more professional training.
O an increase in the number of children, requiring mothers to find work along with fathers.
O rising wage earnings brought about by rising productivity.

All the factors like access to wider range of jobs, better education and rising wage earnings has resulted in increased participation rate of women in labor force.

Increase in number of children results in reduced participation rate in labor force. It requires women to spend more time in caring and nurturing of children.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": an increase in the number of children, requiring mothers to find work along with fathers.

Explanation:

A typical obstacle for women to look for jobs is having more children. This scenario implies whether paying for a baby sitter to take care of the children while they are working but as women have more children the baby sitter salary tends to be higher and higher making it sometimes being unreasonable for mothers to work only to pay the baby sitters' salary.

Thus, the increasing number of women having babies is not a factor that contributed to the rise in women's increase in the labor force. In fact, the birth rate in the U.S. has decreased by 2% from 2017 to 2018.
