GWD28-27

GWD28-Q25 to Q27:

      Many politicians, business leaders,

        and scholars discount the role of

        public policy and emphasize the role

Line of the labor market when explaining

  (5)        employers’ maternity-leave policies,

arguing that prior to the passage of

the Family and Medical Leave Act

(FMLA) of 1993, employers were

already providing maternity leave in

 (10)        response to the increase in the number

of women workers.  Employers did

create maternity-leave programs

in the 1970’s and 1980’s, but not as

a purely voluntary response in the

 (15)        absence of any government mandate.

In 1972, the Equal Employment

Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ruled

that employers who allowed leaves

for disabling medical conditions must

 (20)        also allow them for maternity and that

        failure to do so would constitute sex

        discrimination under the Civil Rights

Act of 1964.  As early as 1973, a

survey found that 58 percent of large

 (25)        employers had responded with new

maternity-leave policies.  Because the

1972 EEOC ruling was contested in

court, the ruling won press attention

that popularized maternity-leave

 (30)        policies.  Yet perhaps because the

Supreme Court later struck down

the ruling, politicians and scholars

        have failed to recognize its effects,

assuming that employers adopted

 (35)      maternity-leave policies in response

to the growing feminization of the

workforce.

Q27:

 

The passage suggests that the relationship between the view of the author with respect to maternity leave policy prior to passage of the FMLA and the view of the politicians, business leaders, and scholars mentioned in lines 1-2 can best be characterized by which of the following statements?

               

  1. They agree that both the 1972 EEOC ruling on maternity-leave policy and the increasing feminization of the workplace had an impact on employers’ creation of maternity-leave programs but disagree about the relative importance of each factor.
  2. They agree that the EEOC ruling on maternity-leave policy had an initial impact on employers’ creation of maternity-leave programs but disagree over whether the Supreme Court’s striking down of the EEOC ruling weakened that impact.
  3. They agree that creating maternity-leave programs was a necessary response to the needs of the increasing number of women workers but disagree about whether maternity should be classified as a disabling medical condition.
  4. They agree that employers created maternity-leave programs prior to passage of the FMLA but disagree about employers’ motivations for doing so.
  5. They agree that employers created maternity-leave programs prior to passage of the FMLA but disagree about how widespread those programs were.這題我看到的答案給B, 非常不明白~我個人覺得是D,   請幫個忙吧~謝謝
