Answer to Question 1

Over the past 50 years, the women's labor force participation rate has increased. Four reasons can be advanced for the increase. First, more women are graduating from college. As college graduates, their salaries are higher and these higher salaries have attracted women to the labor force. Second, technological change has created a large number of white collar jobs with flexible hours, jobs women find attractive. Third, technological change in the home has decreased the amount of time necessary to do some tasks around the house and hence increased the amount of time some women can offer to the paid workplace. Finally, more families have felt the need to have two incomes in order to bolster tight budgets.

Answer to Question 2

At a price of 8 there is a surplus because the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded. The amount of the surplus is 4 units per month.
