Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in History Economics and Public Law, Vol. 89 The increased employment of women in industrial occupations was one of the most striking economic effects of the war. The drawing-off of thousands of men to military life required the labor of a force at least three or four times as large to maintain them with the necessary equipment. In England, this resulted in an increase of about five hundred thousand women in manufacturing establishments in 1917 over 1914. In the United States, we do not know at the present time the exact extent of the industrial change, but there was abundant evidence of an occupational readjustment similar to that which England experienced, and if the war had continued for another year we would undoubtedly have seen a larger increase in the number of industrial women and wage-earners. The war, however, has merely thrown into sharp relief one of the changes that has been going on in the employment of women in the last three decades. This may be indicated from a comparison, by decades since 1880, of the increase of the female population ten years of age and over, with the increase in the number gainfully employed.
