The correct option is "They experienced unemployment and inflation."
One of the most notable long-term effects of this war was the great expansion of governmental powers and responsibilities in France, the United States and the United Kingdom, in order to harness the full potential of the nation, with the creation of new institutions and ministries New taxes were created and new laws were enacted, all designed to reinforce the war effort, some of which have lasted to this day. In the same way, the war put to the test the state machinery of old administrations very large and bureaucratic.
The First World War also produced an imbalance in the number of inhabitants by gender, giving a number of women much higher than that of men. Almost a million British men died in the war, which increased the gender gap in that country from about 670,000 to 1,700,000 more women than men. The number of single women seeking economic independence also grew dramatically, however, the demobilization and post-war economic decline caused high unemployment rates, and although the war had increased the number of women workers, the return to their countries of the demobilized soldiers, many of them workers before the war, and the closing of many factories, caused a decrease in female employment.
