向楼主学习跟随脚步，照例先在economist找素材，写完却有离题之嫌，究竟equal number是指男女比例的绝对化还是只表示女性参加工作的数量大大上升？
题目：
Some workplaces tend to a equal number of women and men.
Do you think it is positive or negative for the social development?
正文：
Today women make up equality of professional workers in many countries, not only this phenomenon changes the status that millions of people who were once dependent on men have taken control of their own economic fates, but also it comes with frictions to social development. Dealing with the consequences will be one of the great challenges of next generation.
Across the world women's economic empowerment is something to be welcomed, not least it liberates the productivity. When physical strengh mattered more than brains, men had an inherent advantage; now brainpower has overweighed the two sexes are more evenly matched. A skilled-dependent economy means that countries will have to make better use of female population, increasing women's participation in the labour market to male level will definitely boost the GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Admittedly that women earn substantially less than men on average, firms are likewisely to recruit female for sake of cost and profit.
Granted, one obvious issue is that women are still under-presented at the top in organizations, the higher ranks of management are usually dominated by men. This no doubt owes something to prejudice, it is that wemen are judged by exactly the same standard as men, however the reality is that many women are forced to choose between motherhood and careers. One possible alternative solution for this problem might be providing after-school care system.
The trend towards more women working is almost certain to continue, despite of the negativities, women as well as men will be the beneficiaries of this tendency.
