In 1950 about 30 percent of the workforce was female. What percentage of the workforce is female today according to the material?

The main idea here is how the share of women in the workforce has grown over time. Since 1950, female participation has risen from about 30% to roughly near half of the workforce. The material indicates today’s share is around forty-seven percent, which captures that near-parity trend without claiming equal participation. This makes the near-half figure the best match to the current data. The other options reflect older levels or less precise estimates and don’t fit the material’s current portrait as well.
