2.Lessons Froma FeministParadise[A]Onthesurface,Sweden appearsto bea feministparadise.Look at any globalsurvey ofgender equalityandSweden willbe nearthe top.Family-friendly policiesare itsnorm一with16months ofpaid parentalleave,special protectionsfor part-time workers,and state-subsidized preschoolswhere,according toagovernment website,gender-awareness educationis increasinglycommon.，z Dueto anunofficial quotasystem,women hold45percent ofpositions in the Swedishparliament.Theyhaveenjoyed theprotectionof governmentagencies withtitles like the Ministryof Integration and Gender Equality and theSecretariat ofGender Research.So why are American women sofar ahead of theirSwedish counterpartsinbreaking throughthe glass ceiling[B]In a2012report,the WorldEconomic Forumfound thatwhen itcomes toclosing the gender gapin economicparticipationand opportunity,the United States is aheadofnot onlySweden but also Finland,Denmark,the Netherlands,Iceland,Germany,and the United Kingdom.Sweden srank in the reportcan largelybeexplained byits politicalquota system.Though the United Stateshas fewerwomen in the workforce68percent comparedto Swedens77percent,American womenwho chooseto beemployed arefar morelikelyto workfull-time and toholdhigh-level jobsas managersor professionals.They alsoown morebusinesses,launch morestart-ups新创办地企业,and moreoften workin traditionallymale fields.As forbreakingthrough theglass ceilingin business,Americanwomen are wellin thelead.[C]What explainsthe Americanadvantage Howcan itbe thatsocieties likeSweden,where genderequalityis vigorouslypursued andenforced,have fewerfemale managers,executives,professionals,and businessownersthan the/afssez-给Zre自由放任地UnitedStatesA newstudy byCornell economistsFrancine BlauandLawrence Kahngives anexplanation.[D]Generous parentalleave policiesand readilyavailable part-time optionshave unintendedconsequences:insteadofstrengthening women,s attachment to theworkplace,they appearto weakenit.In additionto a16-month leave,a Swedishparent has the rightto worksix hoursa dayfor areduced salaryuntilhis orher childis eight years old.Mothers arefar morelikely than fathers totake advantage of thislaw.But extendedleaves andpart-time employmentare knowntobeharmful tocareers forbothgenders.And withwomen a second factorcomesinto play:most seemto enjoy the flexible-time arrangementonce knownas themommy trackand neverfindtheir wayback tofull-time orhigh-level employment.In sum;generous family-friendly policiesdokeep morewomen inthe labormarket,but theyalso tendto diminishtheir careers.|_E」According toBlau andKahn,Swedish-style paternal父亲地leave policiesand flexible-timearrangements poseasecondthreat towomen sprogress:they makeemployers cautiousabout hiringwomenfor full-time positionsat all.Offering ajob toa manis thesafer bet.Heisfar lesslikely totakea yearof parentalleave and then returnonareduced workschedule forthe nexteightyears.[F]I becameaware of the trialsof career-focused Europeanwomenafew years ago whenI meta postdoctoralstudentfrom Germanywho wasthen avisiting fellowat JohnsHopkins.She was astonished by theprofessional possibilitiesafforded toyoung Americanwomen.Her besthope inGermany wasa governmentjob一prospects for women inthe privatesector weredim.〃In Germany,，z shetold me,〃we haveallthe benefits,but employersdon twant tohire us.[G]Swedish economistsMagnus Henreksonand MikaelStenkula addressedthefollowingquestion intheir2009study:whyarethere sofew femaletop executivesintheEuropean平等主义上也）welfare statesTheiranswer:Broad-based welfare-state policieshinder womens representation in elite competitive positions.[H]It istempting todeclare the Swedish policiesregressive（退步地）and hailthe Americansystem assuperior.But thatwould beshortsighted.The Swedescan certainlytake alesson fromtheUnitedStatesand lookfor waysto cleara pathfor theirambitious femalecareerists.But mostwomen arenot committedcareerists.When thePew ResearchCenter recentlyasked American parents toidentify theirideal lifearrangement,47percent ofmothers saidthey wouldprefer towork part-time and20percent saidtheywould prefernot towork atall.Fathers answereddifferently:75percent preferredfull-time work.Someversion of the Swedishsystem mightwork wellfor amajority ofAmerican parents,but theUnited Statesisunlikely tofully embracethe Swedish model.Still,we canlearn fromtheir experience.[I]Despite itsfailure toshatter theglassceiling,Sweden hasone of the mostpowerful andinnovativeeconomies inthe world.In its2011-2012survey,the WorldEconomic Forumranked Swedenasthe worlds thirdmost competitiveeconomy;theUnitedStates camein fifth.Sweden,dubbed therockstar of therecovery/z intheWashingtonPost,also leadsthe worldin lifesatisfaction andhappiness.It isa societywellworth studying,and itsefforts toconquer thegender gapimpart avital lesson一though notthelesson the Swedes hadin mind.[J]Sweden hasgone fartherthan anyother nationon earthto integratethe sexesandtooffer womenthesame opportunitiesand freedomsas men.For decades,these descendantsoftheVikings havebeen tryingto show theworld thatthe rightmix ofenlightened policy,consciousness raising,and non-sexist childrearingwould close thegenderdivide onceand forall.Yet thedivide persists.[K]A2012press releasefrom StatisticsSweden bearsthe title“GenderEqualityin SwedenTreacling（踩）Water and notes:•The totalincome fromemployment forall agesis lowerforwomenthan formen.•One inthree employedwomen andone inten employedmen workpart-time.•Women s working timeis influencedby thenumber and ageoftheirchildren,but mensworkingtimeis notaffected bythese factors.•Of allemployees,only13percent ofthe womenand12percent ofthe menhave occupationswith anevendistribution ofthe sexes.[L]Confronted withsuch facts,some Swedishactivists andlegislators aredemanding moreextreme andfar-reaching measures,such asreplacing maleand femalepronouns witha neutralalternative andmonitoringchildren moreclosely tocorrect themwhen theygravitate（被吸弓I）toward genderedplay.Whenit cameto lightlast yearthat mothers,far morethanfathers,chose tostay homefrom workto carefortheir sickkids,Ulf Kristersson,minister ofsocial security,quickly commissioneda studytodetermine thecauses ofand possiblecures forthis disturbingstate ofaffairs.[M]Swedish familypolicies,by accommodatingwomen,s preferenceseffectively,are reducingthe numberofwomen inelitecompetitivepositions.The Swedeswill findthis paradoxicaland tryto findsolutions.Let ushope thesedo notinclude banninggender pronouns,policing childrens play,implementing moregenderquotas,or treatingwomens specialattachmenttohome andfamily asa socialinjustice.Mostmothers donot aspireto（向往）elite,competitive full-time positions:theSwedishpolicies havegiventhem the freedom and opportunity tolive thelives theyprefer.Americans shouldlook pastthegender rhetoricand considerwhat theseScandinavians haveachieved.On theirway tocreating afeministparadise,theSwedeshave unintentionallycreated aha ven（避风港）for normalmortals.注意:此部分试卷请在答题卡2上作答
