　　The Industrial Age and Employment 　　The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most peoples work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom. 　　Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes. 　　All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs. 　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned 　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned 　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned 　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned 　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned 　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned 　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned
