Answer 1

Answer: c.a decrease in women’s wages

Explanation:

The fertility can be define as the capability of the organism to produce offsprings. As a measure of the fertility, the fertility rate can be calculated by the number of offsprings born per mating event by a mating pair or by the individual organism.
