It is suggested by some policymakers that laws forbidding questions about future family planning in job interviews are ineffective because:
a. Candidates not intending to start families might disclose this to gain an edge over others.
b. Employers may reduce the overall number of candidates they consider for positions.
c. Such laws might lead to an unintended reduction in overall compensation levels.
d. Companies might see a decline in long-term employee retention rates.
