Preptest 07 Passage Ⅰ 1.Although a small but increasing number of working men are single parents, those barriers against successful participation in the labor market that are related to primary child-care responsibilities mainly disadvantage women.
2.Even though part-time work is usually available only in occupations offering minimal employee responsibility and little opportunity for advancement or self-enrichment, such employment does allow many women the time and flexibility to fulfill their family duties, but only at the expense of the advantages associated with full-time employment.
3.Many choose jobs entailing little challenge or responsibility or those offering flexible scheduling, often available only in poorly-paid positions, while other working mothers, although willing and able to assume as much responsibility as people without children, find that their need to spend regular and predicatable time with their children inevitably causes them to lose career opportunities to those without such demands. |
