A new batch of young women—members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的) generation—has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it’ s easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers.
While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20 - 30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15% ) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.
As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they’ re not interested in becoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.
These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials (ages 18 -32), conducted Oct. 7 -27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man’ s world—just as middle-aged and older women do.
What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?
选项
A、A sense of accomplishment.
B、Job stability and flexibility.
C、Rewards and promotions.
D、Joy derived from work.
答案
B
解析
细节题。原文倒数第二段的前两句话指出,随着千禧一代的女性逐渐成熟,她们对工作具有与男性同行相同的看法和价值观。她们想要拥有稳定、灵活的工作,而且相对来说她们不太重视高薪。由此可知,成熟的职业女性看重的是工作的稳定性和灵活性。B项中的stability同义替换了原文中的security,故答案为B。A、D两项原文均未提及,故排除。C项与原文不符,原文描述的是她们不太看重收入和升职,故排除。
