GWD-8-Q35 to GWD-8-Q37(婦女薪資要不要和男性一致題)

[sophiechen]

我想此處所謂的 goverment's assumption是說，只要單親家庭中，單親女家長的薪水能跟單親男家長一般水平的話，就能過日子了。

同學
如果你說的goverment's assumption是指line 40的話，你的解讀有誤哦
因為這一派人的說法是，與其說是"薪資不平等"，不如說是，"單親家庭"又是"低薪資者(不論男女)"，才是造成家庭低收入的主因(這段有點難翻，請看line 34-38)

所以才會有後面說的，不要把薪資當做這種家庭惟一的收入來源，才能根本地改善這種情形

GWD-8-Q35:
The passage suggests that the United States government’s policy towards providing wage supplements to parents whose wages are low is

A. considered ill advised by most economists who have studied the issue
B. based on assumptions about the appropriate sources of family income
C. under revision in response to criticism from some policy analysts
D. capable of eliminating wage inequality but not of raising incomes for both women and men
E. applicable to single-parent families headed by women but not to single-parent families headed by men


ans: B

為何不能是a???
兩種economists都認為不好不是嗎?

[freeisland]

36題 我覺得答案是c喔

Policy analysts:although comparable worth would virtually equalize male and female wages, many single parent families.....the poverty line.
(line 26-33)

Q36 (c) 說明了男女在同樣工作時，薪水會相同。呼應了上述薪水差異不是女性單親家庭貧困的主因

但(e)只是其中一種可能的補助政策，也未在line 26附近提及

[jim9619]

是著回應樓上
題目是問舉例一個the policy analysts倡導的政策
所以應該要看line38(As a solution....)
注意這句urge the government to provide generous wage supplements to single parents whose wages are low.

E說要提供補助(subside)給薪水低於平均的單親家庭
呼應了他麼的要求

個人淺見
參考參考

GWD-8-Q37:
According to the passage, some economists believe that, in the United States, there would be smaller differences between the wages of women and men who do the same jobs if

A. equal pay laws were enforced more fully
B. more stringent equal pay laws were passed
C. a more rigorous comparable worth standard were developed and applied
D. more men entered the occupations in which women are concentrated
E. women received the same kind and amount of job training that men receive
第10行，選A
(這一篇我做比較快，有問題歡迎提出討論)

這一題我選(C)

也就是other economics的看法

有個笨問題.......

我想問一下

像這題裡面有兩個economics

ETS如果說明了是some economics就不可能是other economics嗎?

(因為我覺得some又沒有指明是哪一派economics嘛...... )

(再來我覺得(A)(B)兩者意思相近....so就選了C)

請牛人明示一下

謝謝!!!

我也是選C
雖然有些economists相信"rigorous enforcement of existing equal pay laws"可以解決薪資不平等的問題
但也有其他economists覺得要develope comparable worth standard
另外 題目是要問 "the differences between wages of women and men who do the same jobs" 所以我覺得答案A不對 在line 11-17作者提到equal pay law並不effective因為男女職業的不同(gener concentration) 因此要解決薪資不平等這個問題 other economists才會提議"comparable worth standard"

請指教

我選a
. Some economists(第一個看法) believe that rigorous
enforcement of existing equal pay
(10) laws would substantially decrease
this wage inequity.

government’s policy towards providing wage supplements只有在38-46提到。這裡也只提到policy analysts，沒有economists.

[ebyayaya]

Q-37 我本來也選C, 可是我後來發現題目問的是
between the wages of women and men who do the same jobs

所以是要對應文章中第一群經濟學家的想法: 當男女工作平等, 工作平等法就能夠讓男女薪資相等.

答案就會是A

各位高手覺得呢？

GWD-8-Q35:

A. considered ill advised by most economists who have studied the issue

D. capable of eliminating wage inequality but not of raising incomes for both women and men
E. applicable to single-parent families headed by women but not to single-parent families headed by men

Q35雖然我選B
但是總覺得邏輯上怪怪的
line38 As a solution, they (policy analysts)challenge the government's assumption that a family's income should depend primarily on wages and urge the government to provide generous wage supplements to single parents whose wages are low.

they (policy analysts)challenge the government's assumption that a family's income should depend primarily on wages
這是暗示說 政府以前都假設家庭的收入應該要來自薪水
但是policy analysts卻認為 應該要來自薪水加補助嗎?所以才會慫恿政府要給補助
如果是這樣子的話 那
The passage suggests that the United States government’s policy towards providing wage supplements to parents whose wages are low is based on assumptions about the appropriate sources of family income
文章暗示美國政府要給補助這個政策 是根據一個"關於家庭收入適當來源"的假設
好怪喔 怎麼連不起來.........><

[nexxt0722]

我之前也陷入這個迷思...好不容易跳出來了...你不妨參考一下

標準答案:
美國政府對於提供低收入戶補助的政策,是基於家庭收入的適當來源(就是薪資)這個假設

引申涵義:
既然美國政府認為家庭收入的正常來源是薪資,那它會傾向不發放補助(因為補助不是正常來源)

而政策評論家就是要挑戰這個假設,使政府轉而認同薪資不應是唯一的正常來源,
尤其對於薪資收入偏低的家庭更該如此,促使政府補助低收入戶!

[tarz]

同意 nexxt0722 所說的, 我想來補充一點自己的意見,
文章的末段講到美國政府對於補貼政策的一種假設,
該假設就是 家庭收入應該以薪資為主;
由這樣的假設可以猜測美國政府的觀點,
就是若一旦補助可以成為家庭收入的大部分來源,
(可能的猜測)則會造成不公平的現象發生(為什麼有的人可以補助, 有的人則不行？)
或甚至鼓勵人民都不(辛勤的)工作, 只想靠補助金生活,
因此美國政府是不傾向於發放補助金的~

但政論家就是質疑這種假設, 並認為要解決問題需要政府大量的補助這些低收入戶~

[yilingsky]

是否有人可協助,翻譯以下這段話,看很久一直覺的很混亂...

other economists argue that a comparable
worth standard, which would
mandate that women and men in
any jobs that require comparable
training and responsibility be paid
the same, should be applied
instead.

[dibert8]

其它經濟學家主張應使用男女因職位應具備的技能和責任相同則報酬相同的比較價值基準(而不是同工同酬)

投B一票

challenge可做以下解

要求,需要;刺激,激發[O2]
The new position challenged him to study still harder during his spare time.
那個新職位激發他在業餘時間更加努力學習。
The event challenges an explanation.
那個事件需要解釋。

根據文章line 39-46
they challenge the govern-
(40) ment’s assumption that a family’s
income should depend primarily on
wages and urge the government to
provide generous wage supplements
(child and housing allow-
(45) ances) to single parents whose
wages are low.

analysist 的主張用AND連接，有承接意味
challenge.........---> urge.......

[Kal-El]

最後一句說:
做為一個解決方案, 政策分析師:
1.反對政府(家庭收入應該主要依賴於薪資)的假設.
2.催促政府提供低收入單親父母慷慨的薪資補助.

Q35:本文主張美國政府的這個政策(針對提供低收入父母薪資補助的政策)是:
B: 美國政府的這個政策是基於適當的家庭收入來源.
C: 美國政府的這個政策是基於修正(回應政策分析師之評論的修正).

直接定位答案應該是C.
B:本文並未說這個政策是基於適當的家庭收入來源...
