Solution

The correct option is D Decreased women participation in job market
Decreased women participation in job market is not an indicator of economic development. It is not an indicator of economic development as the decreasing percentage of women will generate lower level of national income, in turn national output of an economy will also get decreased. Thus, decreased women participation in job market does not signify economic development.
