This afternoon, I walked over to Bloomberg headquarters at 58th and Lex to hear an author, a former Goldman Sachs (GS) managing director named Sharon Meers, talk about high-achieving men and women and how to stay successful and sane and married all at the same time.
下午,我步行至彭博公司(Bloomberg)總部,聽一位名叫莎倫?密爾茲(Sharon Meers)的前高盛董事總經(jīng)理談?wù)撚谐删偷哪心信绾伪3殖晒屠碇?,同時(shí)婚姻也一直不會(huì)亮紅燈。

Meers co-wrote a book called Getting to 50/50, which was released a few months ago. Lots of fascinating stats, but some of the most intriguing revolved around the male-female balance of work at home. In today’s talk to about 200 Bloombergers (a gender-balanced crowd), Meers mentioned that when couples share housework, the risk of divorce drops.
密爾茲與人共同撰寫了一本名叫《兩性相處》(Getting to 50/50)的書,這本書在幾個(gè)月前剛剛發(fā)行,其中有很多非常好的數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì),不過最吸引人的地方是圍繞著男女家務(wù)平衡方面的。在面對(duì)200名彭博員工(男女?dāng)?shù)量相等)的談話中,密爾茲提到當(dāng)夫婦分擔(dān)家務(wù)時(shí),離婚的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)就會(huì)下降。

Divorce risk drops sharply when the wife has a job. The ideal set-up is when the man earns 60% of the income and does 40% of the housework. That’s when divorce risk is lowest of all.
當(dāng)妻子有一份工作時(shí),離婚風(fēng)險(xiǎn)將會(huì)顯著下降。最完美的結(jié)構(gòu)是丈夫賺取家中60%的收入,而做40%的家務(wù)。這個(gè)時(shí)候離婚風(fēng)險(xiǎn)是最低的。

(The sex is also better then, by the way. When men do substantial housework, couples have more frequent and satisfying sex. Meers shared this factoid privately, and she lays it all out in her book, in a section called “When He Does Windows…”)
(順便說一下,這個(gè)時(shí)候性生活也會(huì)更好。當(dāng)丈夫分享了一定量的家務(wù)后,夫妻的性生活將更頻繁并且令人滿意。密爾茲私下分享了這一點(diǎn),并且在她書中名叫“當(dāng)他擦窗戶的時(shí)候……”的章節(jié)中也有展開。)

And where in the world do men do the most to help their wives at home? Meers doesn’t have those stats, but I found them, coincidentally, yesterday in a preview of another book due out in September. Women Want More, by Boston Consulting Group senior partner Michael Silverstein, is a marketer’s guide to capturing “the world’s largest and fastest-growing market.” As part of the research for the book, BCG asked 12,000 women in 22 countries a battery of 120 questions. And among the rich findings…
世界上哪里的男人盡最大努力幫助他們?cè)诩业钠拮幽??密爾茲沒有這些數(shù)據(jù),不過很湊巧,昨天在另一本9月將發(fā)行的新書預(yù)告中,我找到了答案。這本名叫《女人想要更多》(Women Want More)的作者是波士頓咨詢集團(tuán)(Boston Consulting Group,BCG)高級(jí)合伙人邁克爾?斯烏爾斯坦(Michael Silverstein),它從市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷人員角度對(duì)爭(zhēng)奪“世界上最大、增長(zhǎng)最快的市場(chǎng)”做出了指導(dǎo)。作為本書調(diào)查的一部分,BCG詢問了來自22個(gè)國(guó)家的12,000位婦女連續(xù)120個(gè)問題。
