IV Fill in each blank in the passage with the correct word from the box

The state of California is working to say goodbye to the gender wage gap Governor Jerry Brown has signed the Fair Pay Act, a new law that forces

(1) progress who pay more to a man working the same (2) opportunities as a woman to prove that the pay is based on elements other than (3) gender It is not just a gender problem-it is a (4) family problem or a human problem.

Aileen Rizo, a math consultant at the Fresno County Office of Education,

discovered that one of her male (5) colleagues earned $12,000 more per year than her, even though he had fewer years of (6) experience and education.

Over the course of a 40-year career, the average American woman will

lose out on about $431,000 as the (7) result of the wage gap, according to the

Center for American Progress And the pay gap starts early: If a woman earns

less in her first job, when she takes on a new (8) role and her new employer sets her (9) wage., it will often be based on her prior pay (10) history Now the new

law has closed the gaps for women

A lot of (1) progress with women’s rights has been made in Korea, but

there are still some misunderstandings and prejudices that are blocking gender equality

The first misunderstanding is the idea that if women gain more

(2) opportunities., men will lose out This is not accurate: gender equality does

not harm men, but it allows women, how make up half the world’s population, to

achieve their full (3) potential Men and women should develop together, and this would help overcome the low (4) growth and secure sustainable

development

The second misunderstanding is that childcare and housework are jobs for

women, and that work-life balance issues are female (5) concerns It was true

in the past: women took (6) .care of housework and childcare, and men

financially supported their families

The Korean government is carrying out various (7) policies to support work-life balance, including a(n) (8) increase in the number of daycare centres

and a system for childcare leave But here is the third misunderstanding: people

think that by using these (9) services., they are creating difficulty for their employers and colleagues The (10) result is they don’t use them.

We can only have gender equality when we change our misunderstandings and prejudices

The mothers, when work, become an inspiration for their kids as they look up to their mums and say that they aspire to be like their mums in the near
