Is it possible that women may change their minds about going out to work in the face of all that social disorder—crime, delinquent children, and divorces? So far there is no sign of it. A poll for the Whirlpool Foundation, a research body linked to the eponymous white-goods producer, found in the mid-1990s that most women in Western Europe and North America would want to work whether or not they needed her money.
Attitudes to working women vary considerably, even in the richer countries. One reason, according to Francoise Core, who conducted a study of female employment for the OECD, is that in countries where agriculture declined rapidly and early, and in which urbanization and industry took over, the habit of fairly equal sharing of work between men and women was lost for a long time. New social expectations grew up along with the urban, nuclear family. This was true in Britain and America, for example, whereas in France the shift from agriculture came much later, with a shorter gap before new service professions expanded to create jobs for women. This sort of difference also explains why sexual equality is more pronounced in Finland’s labor market than in neighboring Sweden’s.
Such a mixed heritage also explains why it is wrong to conclude that increasing female participation in the workforce—with its 1960s assistant, the contraceptive pill—has caused crime and disorder. Even if the
correlation
could be shown to be based on causation, it would be wrong then to argue that female liberties should be curtailed with any degree of compulsion. Mr. Fukuyama of George Mason University stops short of this, but he praises Japan for having forbidden the use of the pill until this year, and wonder whether this will bring family breakdown and rising crime to Japan.
Yet the correlation, is a broader one: that female liberation was merely a part of a general social change, as greater urbanization, affluence and mass education loosened family ties. There may have been a disruption, but the causes of it were wider than just a change in the status of women and in the ability to control pregnancy. And family ties are far from the only old bonds to have loosened. They have also grown looser in the area in which many women struggle: big business.
Which of the following would be inferred about Finland?
选项
A、Its shift from agriculture came later than that in America and Great Britain.
B、Its habit of equal sharing of work among men and women was long lost.
C、It has a low crime rate.
D、Its women are mostly employed in industrial sectors.
答案
A
解析
该题针对第二段内容命题,属于事实细节考查类题目。此类题目的正确答案一般是根据题干在原文定位的句子或句子的上下旬来查找。根据第二段,英法两国不同,法国的农业经济持续时间较长,而且继农业经济不久,服务业给妇女提供了就业机会。这样的差异也解释了为何芬兰的劳动力市场要比瑞典的劳动力市场体现了更多的男女平等机会。由此推断,芬兰的情况和法国类似,工业化较晚,故选择选项[A]。
