A report from the Pew Research Center released last week shows that marriage has undergone significant changes over the last several decades as women’s earning power and education developed more quickly than that of their husbands.
While men and worrier still may be getting used to the shift, the overall effect seems to be positive. Men are taking on more housework and women are earning more outside the home, and—surprise! — divorce rates are dropping.
"Women no longer need to marry up educationally or economically, so they are more likely to pick men who support a more egalitarian relationship," says Stephanie Coontz, author of Marriage, A History: How Love Conquered Marriage.
The divorce rate peaked in the late 1970s, at 23 divorces per 1 000 couples, according to the Times. But it has since dropped: There are fewer than 17 divorces per 1 000 marriages today. And. according to a recent report, typically, women with economic independence and education are more likely to stay married. And, get this: In states where fewer wives have paid jobs, divorce rates are higher.
While the earnings gap has yet to close completely, women aged 30 to 44 now make up the majority of US college graduates, and their earnings grew 44 percent from 1970 to 2007, according to the Pew study. That’s compared to a six percent growth in earnings for men over the same time period.
However, don’t get too excited, ladies—research shows that you still bear most of the household responsibilities in spite of your earning power. The University of Wisconsin’s National Survey on Households and Families mows that among working couples, women still do two-thirds of the housework. The good news, though, is that men are now spending more time with their kids. The same survey reveals that the amount of time dads spend with their children has increased by three times.
The big changes in marriage are mainly caused by the fact that______.
选项
A、women have more power than men at home
B、men are not earning as much as they used to
C、women are better paid and educated than before
D、men are not as well educated as they were before
答案
C
解析
首段指出根据上周发布的一份报道可知,在过去的几十年里婚姻关系经历了重大的变化,这主要是因为女性赚钱的能力和教育程度提高的速度比男性快。文中的earning powerand education developed more quickly与选项中的better paid and educated意思一致。
