Certain words/phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. At first glance the patriarchy appears to be thriving. More than 90% of Presidents and Prime Min- isters are male, as are all nearly big corporate bosses. Men dorninate fl- nance, technology, films; sports, music and even stand-up comedy. In much ‘of the world they still en- Joy-social and legal privileges sim: ply because they have a Y chromo- some. So it might seem odd to wor= ry about the plight of men. Yet there is plenty of cause for concern. Meni cluster at'the bottom as well at the top. Poorly educated: men in rich countries: have had: difficulty coping with the: enormous chang: es in the labour ‘market andthe home over the past half-century. As technology and trade have deval- ued brawny less-educated men have struggled to'find a rolein the workplace.:Women on; the other hand, are surging into expanding Sectors such as health care and.ed~ ucation, helped by their superior skills, As education has becomé more important boys have also fall- en behind girls in school {except at the very top). Meni who lose jobs in manufacturing often never work again. And men without work find ithard to support a family. The re- sult for low-skilled men, {8 a poi- sonous combination of no job, no family and no prospects. ‘Some tend to focus on econom- fes, Shrinking job opportunities for men, they say, are entrenching poverty and destroying families. in America pay for men with only a high-school certificate fell by 21% in real terms between 1979 and 2013, for women with similar qual- sfications it raised by 39. Around a fifth of working-age American men with only a high-school have no job. But both economic and so- cial changes are to blame and the ‘two causes reinforce each other, Moreover, these problems are Iike- ly to get worse. Technology will dis- Tupt more industries, creating ben- efits for society but rendering work- ers who fail (o update their skills redundant. The OECD, a think- tank, predicts that the absolute number of single-parent house- holds will continue to rise in near- ly all rich countries. Boys who grow up without fathers are more likely to have trouble forming lasting re- lationships, creating a cycle of male dysfunction. What can be done? Part of the solution lies in a change in cultural attitudes. Over the past generation, men have learned that they need to help with child care and have changed their behaviour. Women have learned that they can be sur- geons and physicists not at the cost of motherhood. Policymakers also need to lend a hand, because foolish laws are making the prob- lem worse. Governments need to recognise that boys’ underachteve- ment is a serious problem and set about fixing it. Some sensible polt- cies that are good for everybody are particularly good for boys. Early- childhood education provides boys with more structure and a better chance of developing verbal and { social sails, Countries with suc: ful vocational systems such as Germany have done a better Job motivating non-academic boys and guiding them into jobs, but policy~ makers need to reinvent vocation- al education for an age when train- ers are more likely to get jobs in hospitals than factories. The grow- ing equality of the genders is one of the biggest achievements of the post-war era people have greater ‘opportunities than ever before to achieve their ambitions regardless of their gender. But some even have failed to cope with this new world. Its time to give them a hand. 11. What do the statistics in the passage with regard to Ameri- ca indicate? (Q) Pay and employment for men with tow skills has fall- en. (2)Less than ten percent of American politicians are ‘women. (8) Men dominate most high paying professions such as surgery etc. (4) Americans are protected from labour market disrup- tlons by a strong social wel- fare system. (©) At both the top and bottom of the job pyramid women are losing out to men. 12. According to the passage, what ‘can be sald about families to- day? (2) tis difficult for families to survive on the earnings of ‘one parent. (2)'The size of the family is shrinking which will cause aproblem of an ageing pop- lation soon.
