A new batch of young women—members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的) generation—has beenentering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are bettereducated than their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young malecounterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. Theybelieve that women are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it's easier formen to get top executive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when theyhave children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers. While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say thiscountry needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say theyhave been discriminated against at work because of their gender. As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work astheir male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they placerelatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women areless likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they're not interested inbecoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap onthis question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women facethe trade-offs that go with work and motherhood. These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of thedramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation inrecent decades, young women view this as a man's world—just as middle-aged and olderwomen do. 1.What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?
A、They are better educated than their male counterparts.
B、They are generally quite optimistic about their future.
C、They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.
D、They can get ahead only by striving harder.
