Multiple Choice

Which of the following demographic trends in the U.S. workforce are true regarding anatomical and physiological variations?

The gender distribution in the workforce is becoming more skewed, reducing physiological variations.

The workforce is becoming more homogeneous, resulting in less anatomical variation.

There is an increasing diversity in the workforce, leading to a wider range of anatomical and physiological variations.

The average age of the workforce is decreasing, leading to fewer age-related anatomical variations.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the key demographic trends mentioned in the problem: gender distribution, workforce homogeneity, diversity, and average age.

Understand the implications of each trend on anatomical and physiological variations. For example, increased diversity typically leads to greater variation.

Analyze the statement about gender distribution. A skewed gender distribution would not necessarily reduce physiological variations, as gender itself is a source of physiological diversity.

Consider the statement about workforce homogeneity. A more homogeneous workforce would likely result in less anatomical variation, but this is contrary to the trend of increasing diversity.

Evaluate the statement about the average age of the workforce. A decreasing average age might reduce age-related anatomical variations, but this does not align with the trend of increasing diversity, which is the correct answer.
