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.
In the last paragraph, the author’s point is that______.
选项
A、more women should be liberated from their homes
B、women’s participation in the workforce has contributed to greater affluence and prosperity
C、crime and disorder may not be put down to women’s participation in the workforce alone
D、in big businesses women do better than men
答案
C
解析
该题要求理解作者对妇女就业、犯罪和社会混乱之间关系的看法。本题属于段落主旨大意题,需要找出段落的中心句。据末段首句,妇女的解放仅仅是整个社会变化的一部分。因此,造成社会动荡的原因,不仅仅是妇女地位的改变和她们能够控制自己的怀孕。因此,选项[C]正确。
