Italian woman first to manage male football team 意大利首位指导男足的女性教练

文字稿

The proportion of women who don’t stop working until past 70 has grown from one in 20 four years ago to more than one in 10 last year. It’s doubled. There are still more men than women working into their 70s, but what stands out is the dramatic increase in the number of women and at least part of the reason for that is money.

四年前，每二十名英国女性中会有一位直到年过70岁才停止工作，该比率已在去年增至高于一比十，翻了一翻。虽然持续工作到70岁以上的男性仍多于女性，但引人注意的是这类女性比例的急剧增长，而导致该现象的部分原因是对钱的需求。
