#考研英语# 【每日一句】
This is most obviously true about careers: parenthood worsens the pay gap because women are much better financially compensated for taking time out to care for young children and then, because they earn less on average, it makes more financial sense for them rather than fathers to go back part-time, the surest way to hinder your career. But it is about so much more: the housework, the emotional labour of ensuring everyone’s OK, the isolation that can result from uneven social sacrifice, the aspects of life that have nothing to do with motherhood that can sink without trace. If we want more people to want more children, we need to think about how to create a culture where it is the norm for all parents of young children – fathers included – to work part-time and share the load more equally; policies such as at least three months of generous use-it-or-lose-it paternity leave can help set these norms.

第一句:
This is most obviously true about careers:// parenthood worsens the pay gap because women are much better financially compensated// for taking time out to care for young children and then, //because they earn less on average, it makes more financial sense for them rather than fathers to go back part-time, the surest way to hinder your career.
参考译文:在职业上,这种情况最明显:生儿育女会加剧收入差距,由她们来照顾年幼子女会获得更好的经济补偿,而且因为女性的平均收入较低,她们回去做兼职比父亲们更具有经济意义,这肯定是阻碍你事业发展最确定的方式。
第二句:
But it is about so much more: the housework, the emotional labour of ensuring everyone’s OK, the isolation that can result from uneven social sacrifice, the aspects of life that have nothing to do with motherhood that can sink without trace.
参考译文:但是,影响远不止这些:家务活、确保人人都好的“心累”、更多的社交牺牲带来的孤立;这些与育儿无关的方方面面可能渗透生活,却不留痕迹。
第三句:
If we want more people to want more children, we need to think about how to create a culture where it is the norm for all parents of young children – fathers included – to work part-time and share the load more equally; policies such as at least three months of generous use-it-or-lose-it paternity leave can help set these norms.
参考译文:如果我们想让更多的人要更多的孩子,就得思考如何营造一种文化,让所有年幼子女的家长(包括父亲)兼职工作并平等分担育儿任务成为风尚;政策——如至少三个月的非用即失的陪产假——可以帮助形成这些风尚。

生育率下降是众多因素复杂交织的结果,其中不乏女性独立意识提升和计生手段先进的原因,但纠其根本是因为育龄夫妇(尤其是女性)没有在生育和养育孩子方面得到充分的支持和帮助,在经济方面如此,在文化方面更是这样。

#我的读书日常 #《M型社会》
第六章 新繁荣法则+终章 除旧布新,迈向繁荣
√今日思考题:
今天的内容中提到一个改革谬论——即使没有资源、即使远离全球市场,只要有优秀人才,仍能成为全球第二经济大国。你怎么看?你认为成为经济大国的必备要素是哪些?
我认为,要成为经济大国,除了持续培养大量的优秀创新人才以外,至少还需几个要素:
首先必须拥有完整的工业体系,高端的产品要具备很强的国际竞争力,相当规模的经济总量,产业链保持着非常完整的状态等等,这些中国都已具备。
其次,需进行税制改革,少征所得税,多征资产税、增值税及奢侈品高消费税。少子老龄化社会是一个资产增加、收入减少的时代,必然会引起经济的衰退。如果能让老龄者中资产丰富者负担起更多的税金,年轻人也会有机会取得资产,应该是相当公平的税制(英美等发达国家就是征收资产税的)。这至少有两个好处:其一是劳动意愿会增加,让勤劳的人有更多收入;其二是可以促进资产的流动。
此外,还需要一个和平的外部环境。如今国际环境如此严峻,中国能否跨越中等收入陷阱,仍是一个未知数,中国经济面临的挑战远远大于当年日本、韩国等国家。
