According to this theory,investment in human capital—the acquisition of difficult job-related skills—generally benefits individuals by making them eligible to engage in well-paid occupations. Women’s role as child bearers,however, results in interruptionsin their participation in the job market (as compared with men’s) and thus reduces their opportunities to acquire training for highly skilled work. In addition, the human capital theory explains why there was a high concentration of women workers in certain low-skill jobs, such as weaving, but not in others, such as combing or carding,by positing that because of their primary responsibility in child rearing women took occupations that could be carried out in the home.

1.          Which of the following,if true, would most weakenthe explanation provided by the human capital theory for women’s concentration in certain occupations in seventeenth-century Florence?

(A)      Women were unlikely to workoutside the home even in occupations whose hours were flexible enough to allow women to accommodate domestic tasks as well as paid labor.

不懂的地方是，A答案说即使在这些条件下，妇女也不愿出去工作，为什么就weaken 了这个理论呢？不愿出去工作就是在家工作咯。理论的第二点不是说，因为要照顾小孩而选择可以在家完成的工作吗？
