[00:03.90]A Change in Women’s Life
[00:14.14]The important change in women's life-pattern
[00:16.00]has only recently begun to have
[00:18.39]its full effect on women’s economic position.
[00:22.85]Even a few years ago most girls left school
[00:26.94]at the first opportunity,
[00:29.35]and most of them took a full-time job. 
[00:33.21]However, when they married, 
[00:35.66]they usually left work at once and never returned to it.
[00:41.22]Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,
[00:45.54]many girls stay at school after that age,
[00:49.56]and though women tend to marry younger,
[00:52.90]more married women stay at work
[00:55.79]at least until shortly before their first child is born.
[01:01.34]Very many more afterwards return to full-time
[01:05.39]or part-time work.
[01:08.39]Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,
[01:13.10]with the husband accepting a greater share
[01:16.90]of the duties and satisfactions
[01:18.84]of family life and with both husband and wife
[01:23.77]sharing more equally in providing the money, 
[01:27.44]and running the home, 
[01:29.50]according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
