READING AND SPEAKING
26 Pair work. Tick all the jobs in the Word List. Which of them are suitable for women only and which ones — for men only? Then compare your answers with another pair. What’s the same? What’s different? Give reasons for your opinion.
27 Read the first paragraph of the text in Exercise 28 and answer the following questions.
What do you think ‘gender crossover’ and ‘occupational segregation’ mean?
What’s the main idea of the paragraph?
28 Read the second part of the text and find two reasons why occupational segregation is no good for society.
Traditional jobs for men and women
In the 1970s and 80s many women started working at what used to be men’s jobs. In 1971 only 1 percent of all engineers in the USA were women. By 1981 the figure increased fourfold, to 4 percent. Now researchers think that the progress that once allowed the gender crossover in jobs may have stopped. They call this ‘occupational segregation’ and they are not happy about it. Why so?
Why does society need to have a more equal workforce? Firstly, women earn 25% less than men do in general. The main reason for that is there are certain types of jobs that most women find themselves in. If a man works in a female oriented job, he ends up earning 12.5% less than his male counterparts, whereas a woman who works in a male dominated field earns 25.9% more than her female peers. It’s all about the job type that changes the average. Secondly, sometimes there is a shortage in certain professions and it would be easier to reach a balance if we could choose from both men and women.
29 Pair work. Student A studies Table 1, Student В studies Table 2. Make your conclusions based on the statistics, then exchange your ideas and summarize them. Compare your analysis of the statistics with the one of another pair.
