Question

if the ussrs economy had remained agriculture - based rather than industrialized, then
the unemployment rate among men would have been much lower.
women would have been much less in demand in the workforce.
crop productivity would have led to larger, better nourished populations.
children would not have had to leave school early to work in factories.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Industrialization often created jobs, so an agriculture - based economy might not lower male unemployment. Eliminate.
• Option 2: Industrialization opened non - traditional jobs for women. An agri - based economy, with more traditional gender roles, would reduce women's workforce demand. Plausible.
• Option 3: Industrialization didn't necessarily harm crop productivity. Also, agri - based doesn't guarantee better nourishment. Eliminate.
• Option 4: Factories are part of industrialization. If there's no industrialization (agri - based), there are no factory jobs for children to leave school for. But this is more about the absence of industrial jobs. The key is about workforce demand for women. The logic for option 2 is more about the nature of an agri - based economy's impact on gender in the workforce.

Answer:

women would have been much less in demand in the workforce.
