Read the passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D).
For working parents in the U.S., the challenge of juggling careers and family life continues to be a front-burner issue
- one that is being recognized by a growing number of employers who have adopted family-friendly policies such as
paid leave. But while few Americans want to see a return to traditional roles of women at home and men in the
workplace, one reality persists: Women most often are the ones who adjust their schedules and make compromises when
the needs of children and other family members collide with work, Pew Research Center data show.
In a 2013 survey, we found that mothers were much more likely than fathers to report experiencing significant career
interruptions in order to attend to their families' needs. Part of this is due to the fact that gender roles are lagging behind
labor force trends. While women represent nearly half of the U.S. workforce, they still devote more time than men on
average to housework and child care and fewer hours of paid work, although the gap has narrowed significantly over
time. Among working parents of children younger than 18, mothers in 2013 spent an average of 14.2 hours per week on
housework, compared with fathers' 8.6 hours. And mothers spent 10.7 hours per week actively engaged in child care,
compared with fathers' 7.2 hours.
Another factor is the way that society views the bond between mothers and their children. In a 2012 Pew Research
survey, the vast majority of Americans (79%) rejected the notion that women should return to their traditional role in
society. Yet when they were asked what is best for young children, very few adults (16%) said that having a mother who
works full time is the “ideal situation.'' Some 42% said that having a mother who works part time is ideal and 33% said
what's best for young children is to have a mother who doesn't work at all. Even among full-time working moms, only
about one-in-five (22%) said that having a full-time working mother is ideal for young children.
