The journal is edited by staff of the Sociology Department at Flinders. The research suggests that the gender structures of family life and their impact on women and men are remarkably constant aspects of social life. Against the idea that family life has become a new realm of freedom and flexibility, relations between men and women, and women's position in family life, continue to be bound by strong gender norms.
While there is evidence of a convergence in men's and women's relative contributions to house hold tasks, the change is due to the decline in time that women spend on domestic labor rather than the small increase in time spent on domestic duties by men. "Working women are making changes in their domestic labor and consumption patterns in order to accommodate their increased labor force participation, "said Professor Sharyn Roach Anleu.
Large-scale work place surveys from Australia and the UK also show that there are enduring pay differences between men and women who are parents. Another paper presents a recent Australian survey comparing the effect of paid work on household economic well-being with other factors (notably whether or not the mother is partnered), and shows that overall household welfare is improved only where mothers obtain professional/administrative jobs.
The increase of single parent families is a well recognized feature of demographic change in household and family forms, and the difficulties presented by the labor market for sole mothers is underlined by a study from New Zealand/Interviews with sole mothers show that jobs are increasingly fragmented and temporary. Far from offering flexibility, the workplaces are often rigid and constraining. Clear differences emerge between women whose training and experience allows access to higher status jobs and those who can only access the least desirable employment options.
Another New Zealand study emphasizes the growth of non-standard work arrangements in the "New Economy", showing the increasing extent of work outside conventional organizations and career paths, part-time work. irregular hours and work from home. The influence of the European Economic Union's agricultural policies and of global economic and technological changes in farming is apparent in a Northern Ireland study of women's work on and off farms.

Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.
Do not use any letter more than once.
The best person for the job
Employees can make a business succeed or fail, so the people who choose them have a vital role to play
Employees are a company's new ideas, its public face and its main asset. Hiring the right people is therefore a significant factor in a company's success. If the human resources department makes mistakes with hiring, keeping and dismissing staff, a business can disappear overnight. Many companies now realise that recruiting the best recruiters is the key to success.
Sarah Choi, Head of HR at Enco plc, believes that thinking commercially is a key quality in HR. 'Every decision an HR manager makes needs to be relevant to advancing the business. (8) That's no longer the case. HR managers have to think more strategically these days. They continually need to think about the impact of their decisions on the bottom line. (9) For example, a chief executive will expect the HR department to advise on everything from the headcount to whether to proceed with an acquisition.'
Why do people go into HR in the first place? Choi has a ready answer. 'I think most people in the profession are attracted by a long-term goal. (10) Nothing happens in the company which isn't affected by or doesn't impact on its employees, so the HR department is a crucial part of any business.'
Not all operational managers agree. An informal survey of attitudes to HR departments that was carried out last year by a leading business journal received comments such as 'What do they actually contribute?' (11) As Choi points out, salaries have never been higher and, in addition, HR managers often receive substantial annual bonuses.
Despite the financial rewards, HR managers often feel undervalued, and this is a major reason for many leaving their jobs. (12) However, a lack of training and development is a more significant factor. These days, good professional development opportunities are considered an essential part of an attractive package,' Choi explains.
A. But rising levels of remuneration demonstrate that the profession's growing importance is widely recognised.
B. At one time, a professional qualification was required in order to progress to the top of HR.
C. Other departments and senior executives used to see HR managers as having a purely administrative role.
D. Since it's one of the few areas where you can see the whole operation, it can lead to an influential role on the board.
E. Being seen as someone who just ticks off other people's leave and sick days does not help build a sense of loyalty.
F. They therefore need to be competent in many aspects of a company's operations.
G. On the other hand, recruiting the wrong staff can lead to disaster.

Passage Two
You may have heard some of the fashion industry horror stories: models eating tissues or cotton balls to hold off hunger, and models collapsing from hunger-induced heart attacks just seconds after they step off the runway.
Excessively skinny models have been a point of controversy for decades, and two researchers say a model&39;s body mass should be a workspace health and safety issue. In an editorial released Monday in the American Journal of Public Health, Katherine Record and Bryn Austin made their case for government regulation of the fashion industry.
The average international runway model has a body mass index (BMI) under 16-low enough to indicate starvation by the World Health Organization&39;s standard. And Record and Austin are worried not just about the models themselves, but about the vast number of girls and women their images influence.
"Especially girls and tens", says Record. "Seventy percent of girls aged 10 to 18 report that they define perfect body image based on what they see in magazines." That&39;s especially worrying, she says, given that anorexia(厌食症)results in more deaths than does any other mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
It&39;s commonly known that certain diseases are linked with occupations like lung disease in coal miners. Professional fashion models are particularly vulnerable to eating disorders resulting from occupational demands to maintain extreme thinness.
Record&39;s suggestion is to prohibit agents from hiring models with a BMI below 18.
In April, France passed a law setting lower limits for a model&39;s weight. Agents and fashion houses who hire models with BMI under 18 could pay $82,000 in fines and spend up to 6 months in jail. Regulating the fashion industry in the United States won&39;t be easy, Record says. But with the new rules in France, U.S. support could make a difference. "A designer can&39;t survive without participating in Paris Fashion Week", she says, adding, "Our argument is that the same would be true of New York Fashion Week."
What do Record and Austin say about fashion models&39; body mass?
A.It has caused needless controversy.
B.It is focus of the modeling business.
C.It is but a matter of personal taste.
D.It affects models' health and safety.
For whom is the announcement most likely intended?
A.People attending an event
