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. [br] The word "egalitarian"(Para. 3)most probably means______.
选项
A、equal
B、healthy
C、stable
D、intimate
答案
A
解析
第三段指出,受教育程度和经济条件不再是女性择偶时需要考虑的因素,这说明女性所寻求的不再是男主外女主内的传统的不平等关系,而应该是一种新型的平等关系,由此推断egalitarian应该含有“平等的”的意思。
