GWD8 Q35-Q37 一段话

  Research data indicate that there is a great deal of poverty in the United States among single-parent families headed by women. This problem could result from the fact that women’s wages are only 60 percent of men’s. Some economists believe that rigorous enforcement of existing equal pay laws would substantially decrease this wage inequity. But equal pay laws are ineffectual when women and men are concentrated in different occupations because such laws require only that women and men doing the same jobs be paid the same. Since gender concentration exists (for example, 80 percent of clerical workers are women), other economists argue that a comparable worth standard, which would mandate that women and men in any jobs that require comparable training and responsibility be paid the same, should be applied instead. But some policy analysts assert that, although comparable worth would virtually equalize male and female wages, many single-parent families headed by women would remain in poverty because many men earn wages that are below the poverty line. These policy analysts believe that the problem is not caused primarily by wage inequity but rather by low wages coupled with single parent hood, regardless of sex. As a solution, they challenge the government’s assumption that a family’s income should depend primarily on wages and urge the government to provide generous wage supplements (child and housing allowances) to single-parents whose wages are low.

绿线部分意思不明白，说男女工资平等了之后，由母亲领导的单亲家庭还会贫困，因为男的工资低。

矛盾把，由母亲领导的单亲家庭，怎没会和男的有关系？

是这样理解的：

前面说了男女同工同酬，所以同一份工作女的就不应该比男的拿得少。（这点，我看你明白了）然后说即使同工同酬也不能改善，因为还是有歧视，女的只能干蓝领之类的工资本来就低的活。(所以还是不能达到改善底层妇女工资低的问题）。（你的问题来了）有的分析员就说，即使同工同酬，还有一个问题，就是有些男的工资也很低，这样的话女的也低了。所以说，光同工同酬还不能解决问题的根本，需要直接对低收入的单亲妈妈补贴。

建议：CD上有一个GWD阅读的中英文对照版，以前人整理的，你可以去下载，这样读不明白的时候就可以随时翻看了，不用等着别人帮忙翻译了
