Today, the poor aren’t just more likely to get divorced. They’re more likely to avoid marriage entirely.
Earlier today, my colleague Derek Thompson argued that; it’s misleading to think of marriage as a "luxury good". Why? Because luxury goods are something the rich buy and the poor can’t afford. But in the case of marriage the trend is more complex. The vast majority of Americans tie the knot at some point in their lives, he argues. It’s just that those without a college education are far, far more likely to get divorced. Marriage is for everyone; failed marriages are for the poor.
Bleak stuff. But it’s getting bleaker.
Derek’s post is based on a long-term study of young Baby Boomers, who were at least 46 years old by 2010. But among younger Americans,
marriage really is looking more and more like something you ’d have to buy at Tiffany’s
. According to 2012 Census Bureau report, which shows the percentage of men who have never married by age and income, the less a guy earns nowadays, the less likely they are to have ever gotten married.
Well, that’s not 100 percent true. Among twenty-somethings there seems to be a rich bachelor effect going on (or an overworked young professional effect, if you prefer). Those making $75,000 or more are somewhat less likely to have been married than those making between $40,000 and $75,000.
This particular set of Census data unfortunately tells us much less about women and marriage. The problem: Stay-at-home moms.
The key to remember, though, is that many educated, high-earning women, the sorts who are likely to meet and marry educated and high-earning men, leave the workforce or go part time once they have children. So a publicist who once made over $70,000 a year might only earn $20,000 if she decided to work fewer hours while caring for her children at home.
Here’s why this trend—not just the move towards divorce like Derek talked about, but the move from nuptials (婚礼) entirely—is so gloomy. Getting married, and staying married, is one of the surest ways of securing a middle class life. By choosing not to wed in the first place, the poor are abandoning that chance at stability.
What will probably happen to high-earning women once having children?
选项
A、They will change nothing about their lives.
B、They will quit their jobs as their husbands demand.
C、They will probably leave their jobs or do part-time jobs.
D、They will change their current jobs to find a better one.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干中的high-earning women可定位到原文第六段第一句。该句提到,受过教育、高收入的女性一旦生孩子后就会离开工作岗位或只做兼职工作,收入也会大大减少。由此可知,C选项符合,故选C。
