Soo Mi: Hello, Steve. Have you read this article?
Steve: Not yet. What is in it?
Soo Mi: There are some facts about families in the United States. It says that 50% of marriages end in divorce in the United States.
Steve: That's quite high. Do a lot of people get divorced in Korea?
Soo Mi: No. Most Korean couples stay together.
Steve: Families are sure different in America.
Soo Mi: Well, there are more divorces but what else is different?
Steve: Well, I think people get married younger.
Soo Mi: How much younger?
Steve: Oh, I think some people get married before the age of 20.
Soo Mi: Really? What else?
Steve: A lot of women work after they get married. And I think most women who have babies go back to work fairly soon.
Soo Mi: Yes, according to the survey, 50% of American working women return to work within a year of having a baby.
Steve: Do women in Korea usually work after they get married?
Soo Mi: No. A lot of women stay at home and take care of their families but a few work.
Steve: I see. Here are some more figures. It says 67% of women with children work. And 57% of children under six have two parents who work or a single parent who works.
