35、r on answer sheet 2.lessons from a Feminist ParadiseAOn the surface,Sweden appearsto be a feminist paradise.Look at any global survey of gender equality andSweden will be near the top.Family-friendly policies are its norm-with 16months of paid parental leave,special protections for part-time workers

36、,and state-subsidizedpreschools where,according to a government website,gender-awarenesseducation is increasingly common.due to an unfficial quota system,womenhold 45 percent of positions in the swedish parliament.they have enjoyed theprotection of government agencies with titles like the Ministry o

37、f Integrationand Gender Equality and the Secretariat of Gender Research.So why are Americanwomen so far ahead of their Swedish counterparts in breaking through the glassceiling?Bin a 2012 report,the World EconomicForum found that when it comes to closing the gender gap ineconmicparticipation and opp

38、ortunity,the United States is ahead of not onlySweden but also Finland,Denmark,the Netherlands,Iceland,Germany,and the UnitedKingdom.Swedens rank in the report can largely be explained by its politicalquota system.Though the United States has fewer women in the workorce(68percent compared to Swedens

39、 77 percent).American women who choose to beemployed are far more likely to work full-time and to hold high-level jobs asmanangers or professionals.They also own more businesses,lauch more start-ups(新创办的企业),and more often work in traditionally malefields.As for breaking through the glass ceiling in

40、business,American women arewell in the lead.Cwhat explains the Americanadvantage?How can it be that societies like Sweden,where gender equality isvigorously pusued and engorced,have fewer femalemanagers,executives,professionals,and business owners than eh laissez-faire(自由放任的)united states?A new stud

41、y by clrnelleconomists Francine Blau and Lawrence Kahn gives an explanation.DGenerous parental leavepolicies and readily available part-time options have unintendedconsequences:instead of strengthening womens attachment to the workplace,theyappear to weaken it.In addition to a 16-month leave,a swedi

42、sh parent has theright to work six hours a day (for a reduced salary)until his or her child iseight years old.Mothers are far more likely than fathers to take advantage ofthis law,But extended leaves and part-time employment are known to be harmfulto careersfor both genders. And with women a second

43、factor comes intoplay:most seem to enjoy the flexible-time arrangement(once known as the “mommytrack”)and never find their way back tofull-time or high-level employment.In sum:generous family-friendly policies dokeep more women in the labor market,but they also tend to diminisb theircareers.E Accord

44、ing to Blau andKahn,Swedish-style paternal(父亲的)leavepolicies and flexibletime arrangements pose a second threat to womans progress:they make employers cautious about hiring woman forfull-time positions at all.Offering ajob to a man is the safer bet.He is farless likely to take a year of parental lea

45、ve and then return on a reduced workschedule for the next eight years.FI became aware of the triale ofcareer-focused European woman a few years ago when I met a post-doctoralstudent from Germany who was then a visiting fellow at Johns Hopkins. She wasastonished by the professional possibilities affo

46、rded to young American woman.Her best hope in Germany was agovermment jobprospects for woman in the private sector were dim.”In Germany “ she told me,”we have all the benefits,”but employers dont wan to hire us.”G Swedish economists MagnusHenrekson and Mikael Stenkula addressed the following questio

47、n in their 2009study:why are there so few female top executives in the European egalitarian(平等主义的)welfare states?Their answer:”Broad-based welfare-state policies hinder womens representation in elitecompetitive positions.”H It is tempting to declare theSwedish policies regressive(退步的)and hail theAmerican system as superior.But that would be shortsighted.The Swedes cancertainly take a lesson from the United States and look for ways to clear apath for their am
