問題詳情

Over the last decade, American men of all backgrounds have begun flocking to fields such as teaching, nursing andwaiting tables that have long been the province of women. The trend began well before the crash, and appears to be driven by avariety of factors, including financial concerns, quality-of-life issues and a gradual erosion of gender stereotypes. The shiftincludes low-wage jobs as well. Nationally, two-thirds more men were bank tellers, almost twice as many were receptionistsand two-thirds more were waiting tables in 2010 than a decade earlier.Even more striking is the type of men who are making the shift. A study shows that from 1970 to 1990, men who tookso-called pink-collar jobs tended to be foreign-born, non-English speakers with low education levels. Now the trend has spreadamong men of nearly all races and ages, more than a third of whom have a college degree. In fact, the shift is most pronouncedamong young, white, college-educated men.In interviews, about two dozen men played down the economic considerations, saying that the stigma associated withchoosing such jobs had faded, and that the jobs were appealing not just because they offered stable employment, but becausethey were more satisfying. Several men cited the same reasons for seeking out pink-collar work that have drawn women to suchcareers: less stress and more time at home.Labor economists welcome the healthy results of changing gender roles at home, where men are shouldering more of thedomestic burden. As attitudes in the family change, attitudes toward the workplace have changed. (Excerpted from the NewYork Times)
