Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

More and more women are now joining the paid labor force worldwide. They represent the majority of the work force in all the sectors which are expanding as a result of globalization and trade liberalization – the informal sector, including the part-time, temporary, low-paid labor force. Even in countries which have low levels of female workers, employment is rising.

Paid employment has undoubtedly brought economic and social gains to many women today. For many previously inexperienced young women, the opportunity to gain financial independence has helped break down some of the taboos of their societies and rules on women's behavior. However, declining economic and social conditions throughout the world, in particular declining household incomes, have compelled many women to take any kinds of paid work to meet their basic needs and those of their families. The jobs available for them are mostly insecure and low-paid with irregular hours, high levels of intensity, little protection from health and safety hazards.

Women's high participation in informal employment is partly due to the fact that many jobs in the formal economy are not open to them: they are actively excluded from certain kinds of work or lack access to education and training or have domestic commitments. The increase of women's participation in the informal sector has been most marked in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa where sharp economic decline and structural adjustment policies have reduced the official job market drastically.
Women are paid less than men are. Women also have less job security and fewer opportunities for promotion. Higher status jobs, even in industries which employ mostly women, tend to be filled by men.

In addition, women usually have to continue their unpaid domestic and caring work, such as of children, the sick and the elderly, which is often regarded as women's "natural" and exclusive responsibility. Even when they have full-time jobs outside the home, women take care of most household tasks, particularly the preparations of meals, cleaning and childcare. When women become mothers, they often have no option other than to work part-time or accept housework.
