The rover, about the size of a car, can use its sophisticated cameras, lasers that can analyze the chemical makeup of Martian rocks and ground-penetrating radar to identify the chemical signatures of fossilized microbial life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA\u2019s earlier missions showed that in the distant past some places were warm, wet and habitable. Now it is time to learn whether there were ever any microscopic inhabitants there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2018s an enormous undertaking that\u2019s in front of us, and it has enormous scientific potential to really be transformative,\u201d Kenneth Williford, a deputy project scientist, said. \u201cThe question is, \u2018Was Mars ever a living planet?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission will also try to make a small experimental helicopter, Ingenuity, take flight in the thin Martian atmosphere \u2014 something never accomplished before. A successful test of the helicopter would be \u201ca true extraterrestrial Wright Brothers moment,\u201d said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA\u2019s associate administrator for science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA has landed a series of rovers on Mars since the 1990s. Each has revolutionized human understanding of Mars. Perseverance has the tools that can search for complex carbon-based molecules that could be the remnants of past microbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The setting for the mission\u2019s studies is Jezero, a 30-mile-wide crater that was once a large lake. The rover will crawl along in search of those chemical signals of microbes that were extinguished as Mars turned cold and barren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perseverance was the third robotic visitor from Earth to arrive at the red planet this month. Last week, two other spacecraft, Hope from the United Arab Emirates and Tianwen-1 from China, entered orbit around Mars. But NASA\u2019s spacecraft zipped along a direct path to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 3:48 p.m. Eastern time, controllers at the mission operations center received word from Perseverance that it had entered the Martian atmosphere at a speed of more than 12,000 mph. At 3:55 p.m. cheers erupted in the control room when Perseverance arrived on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>rover \u60d1\u661f\u63a2\u67fb\u6a5f\u3001\u30ed\u30fc\u30d0\u30fc<br>barren \u4e0d\u6bdb\u306e\u3001\u4f5c\u7269\u304c\u3067\u304d\u306a\u3044\u3001\u975e\u751f\u7523\u7684\u306a<br>perseverance \u5fcd\u8010 (\u529b)\u3001\u7c98\u308a\u5f37\u3055\u3001\u6839\u6c17 \u3010\u540c\u3011persistence<br>Martian \u706b\u661f\u306e<br>fossilized \u5316\u77f3\u7684\u306a *fossil \u3000\u5316\u77f3<br>microbial \u5fae\u751f\u7269\u306e\uff3b\u306b\u95a2\u3059\u308b\uff3d<br>microscopic \u5fae\u7d30\u306a\u3001\u6975\u5c0f\u306e\u3000*microscope\u3000\u9855\u5fae\u93e1<br>inhabitant \u5c45\u4f4f\u8005\u3001\u4f4f\u6c11<br>undertaking (\u5f15\u304d\u53d7\u3051\u305f) \u4ed5\u4e8b\u3001\u4e8b\u696d<br>extraterrestrial\u3000 \u5730\u7403\u5916\u306e\u3001\u5b87\u5b99\u304b\u3089\u306e \u3010\u5bfe\u3011terrestrial<br>remnant\u3000 \u6b8b\u3055\u308c\u305f\u7269\u3001\u6b8b\u4f59\u7269<br>extinguish\u3000(\u751f\u7269\u306a\u3069\u3092) \u6d88\u6ec5\uff3b\u7d76\u6ec5\uff3d\u3055\u305b\u308b *extinguisher\u3000\u6d88\u5316\u5668<br>erupt\u3000 (\u611f\u60c5\u304c) \u7206\u767a\u3059\u308b<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"221\">2\/21(\u65e5)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/130650\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Uber Drivers Are Entitled to Worker Benefits, a British Court Rules<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aAdam Satariano<br>(c) 2021 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber suffered a major defeat in one of its most important markets Friday when Britain\u2019s Supreme Court, in a ruling that could threaten the future of the already unprofitable company, said a group of drivers should be classified as workers entitled to a minimum wage and vacation time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court\u2019s decision, the latest in a string of confrontations between labor groups and so-called gig economy companies in courtrooms and legislative halls around the world, represents an existential threat to Uber and other companies that rely on a sprawling labor force of independent contractors to provide car rides, deliver food and clean homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court justices ruled that although Uber said it was only a technology platform that connected drivers with passengers, it behaved more like an employer by setting rates, assigning rides, and requiring drivers to follow certain routes and using a rating system to discipline them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision was a major victory for labor activists in the United States and Europe who are pushing for better wages and stronger protections for workers with services like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and Grubhub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was also a considerable setback for Uber, which had been able to beat back other attempts at forcing it to change how it treats its drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As fast as they have become a part of everyday life and have been valued on Wall Street in the tens of billions of dollars, gig economy companies operate on precarious business models. In 2020, for example, Uber reported a net loss of $6.8 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber fought the effort by drivers in Britain to be classified as workers for the past five years, appealing the decision all the way to the country\u2019s top court. The ruling Friday is expected to initially affect only the 25 drivers who brought the case but is seen as setting a precedent for the 60,000 other Uber drivers across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling will now be referred to an employment tribunal, an administrative court that will decide in the next few months how to reward the drivers and how the ruling will affect other drivers going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber sought to play down the decision, saying it would press the employment tribunal to limit its scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Benefits \u798f\u5229\u539a\u751f<br>Unprofitable \u5132\u304b\u3089\u306a\u3044<br>Minimum wage \u6700\u4f4e\u8cc3\u91d1<br>Vacation time \u6709\u7d66\u4f11\u6687<br>Confrontations \u5bfe\u7acb\u30fb\u885d\u7a81<br>Legislative \u7acb\u6cd5<br>Existential \u5b58\u5728<br>Sprawling \u4e71\u96d1\u306b\u5e83\u304c\u308b<br>Activists \u6d3b\u52d5\u5bb6<br>Precarious \u5f53\u3066\u306b\u306a\u3089\u306a\u3044<br>Net loss \u5f53\u671f\u7d14\u640d\u76ca<br>Appeal \u4e0a\u8a34<br>Tribunal \u6cd5\u5ef7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"222\">2\/22(\u6708)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/130798\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Biden Tells Allies \u2018America Is Back,\u2019 but Macron and Merkel Push Back<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aDavid E. Sanger, Steven Erlanger and Roger Cohen<br>(c) 2021 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Joe Biden used his first public encounter with America\u2019s European allies to describe a new struggle between the West and the forces of autocracy, declaring that \u201cAmerica is back\u201d while acknowledging that the past four years had taken a toll on its power and influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His message stressing the importance of reinvigorating alliances and recommitting to defending Europe was predictably well received at a session of the Munich Security Conference that Biden addressed from the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there was also pushback, notably from the French president, Emmanuel Macron, who in his address made an impassioned defense of his concept of \u201cstrategic autonomy\u201d from the United States, making the case that Europe can no longer be overly dependent on the United States as it focuses more of its attention on Asia, especially China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And even Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, who is leaving office within the year, tempered her praise for Biden\u2019s decision to cancel plans for a withdrawal of 12,000 U.S. troops from the country with a warning that \u201cour interests will not always converge.\u201d It appeared to be a reference to Germany\u2019s ambivalence about confronting China and to the continuing battle with the United States over the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But all three leaders seemed to recognize that their first virtual encounter was a moment to celebrate the end of the era of \u201cAmerica First,\u201d and for Macron and Merkel to welcome back Biden, a politician whom they knew well from his years as a senator and vice president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Biden used the moment to warn about the need for a common strategy in pushing back at a narrative that the chaos surrounding the American election was another sign of democratic weakness and decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe must demonstrate that democracies can still deliver for our people in this changed world,\u201d Biden said, adding, \u201cWe have to prove that our model isn\u2019t a relic of history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden never named his predecessor, Donald Trump, in his remarks, but framed them around wiping out the traces of Trumpism in the United States\u2019 approach to the world. He celebrated its return to the Paris climate agreement, which took effect just before the meeting, and a new initiative, announced Thursday night, to join Britain, France and Germany in engaging Iran diplomatically in an effort to restore the 2015 nuclear agreement that Trump exited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>autocracy \u72ec\u88c1\u653f\u6cbb<br>take a toll on\u2026 \uff5e\u306b\u88ab\u5bb3\u30fb\u640d\u5bb3\u3092\u4e0e\u3048\u308b<br>reinvigorate \u6d3b\u529b\u3001\u5f37\u3055\u3092\u53d6\u308a\u623b\u3055\u305b\u308b<br>well received \u6b53\u8fce\u3055\u308c\u305f\u3001\u8a55\u5224\u306e\u826f\u3044<br>pushback (\u540d)\u53cd\u767a<br>impassioned \u71b1\u306e\u3053\u3082\u3063\u305f<br>make the case that ~\u3068\u4e3b\u5f35\u3059\u308b<br>temper \uff08\u52d5\uff09\u6291\u3048\u308b<br>converge \u53ce\u675f\u3059\u308b<br>ambivalence \uff08\u76f8\u53cd\u3059\u308b\uff09\u611f\u60c5\u306e\u4ea4\u932f<br>relic \u907a\u7269<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"223\">2\/23(\u706b)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/131267\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Art Mystery Solved: Who Wrote on Edvard Munch\u2019s \u2018The Scream\u2019?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aNina Siegal<br>(c) 2021 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edvard Munch\u2019s \u201cThe Scream,\u201d from 1893, is one of the world\u2019s most famous paintings, but for years art historians have mostly ignored a tiny inscription, written in pencil, at the upper left corner of its frame, reading: \u201cCould only have been painted by a madman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who wrote the sentence there? Some thought a disgruntled viewer might have vandalized the work; others imagined it was the artist himself. But then why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curators at Norway\u2019s National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, which owns the artwork, announced Monday in Oslo that they have determined that the text was indeed written by the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been examined now very carefully, letter by letter, and word by word, and it\u2019s identical in every way to Munch\u2019s handwriting,\u201d said Mai Britt Guleng, the museum\u2019s curator of old masters and modern paintings, who was in charge of the research. \u201cSo there is no more doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Munch painted four versions of \u201cThe Scream\u201d from 1893 to 1910.

During a debate about the exhibition at the University of Oslo\u2019s Students Association one night, a medical student, Johan Scharffenberg, said the artwork gave him reason to question the artist\u2019s mental state, calling Munch abnormal and a \u201cmadman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guleng believes the inscription is written with irony and reflects both pain at being attacked and fear of being regarded as mentally ill. \u201cBy writing this inscription in the clouds, he took possession, in a way, or he took control of how he was to be perceived and understood,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>inscription\u3000\u66f8\u304d\u8fbc\u307f\u3000[\u8a9e\u6e90: in(\u4e2d\u306b)+scribere(\u66f8\u304f)]\u3000[\u89aa\u621a: describe(\u8aac\u660e\u3059\u308b), prescribe(\u51e6\u65b9\u3059\u308b)]<br>madman\u3000\u72c2\u4eba\u3000\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8mad=angry\u3067\u3088\u304f\u4f7f\u3046\u3000\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7mad\u2192\u72c2\u3063\u305f\u3088\u3046\u306b\u3002\u6012\u308b\u2192cross\/angry<br>disgruntled\u3000\u6a5f\u5acc\u3092\u640d\u306d\u3089\u308c\u305f<br>\ud83d\udc46grunt(\u3076\u3046\u3076\u3046\u6587\u53e5\u3092\u8a00\u3046)<br>vandalized\u3000\u6545\u610f\u306b\u7834\u58ca\u3055\u308c\u305f<br>\ud83d\udc46vandalism(\u843d\u66f8\u304d\u306a\u3069\u7834\u58ca\u884c\u70ba)<br>artwork\u3000\u7f8e\u8853\u54c1\u3001\u624b\u5de5\u82b8\u54c1\u3000<br>identical\u3000\u74dc\u4e8c\u3064\u3000[\u8a9e\u6e90: idem(\u540c\u3058)]<br>tempera\u3000\u30c6\u30f3\u30da\u30e9\u3000[\u89aa\u621a: temper(\u6a5f\u5acc), temperature(\u6e29\u5ea6)<br>infrared photography\u3000\u8d64\u5916\u7dda\u5199\u771f<br>\ud83d\udc46UV Rays=Ultraviolet Rays(\u7d2b\u5916\u7dda)<br>took possession of ~\u3000\u301c\u3092\u624b\u4e2d\u306b\u53ce\u3081\u308b<br>\ud83d\udc46\u8fd1\u5e74\u306eslang: \u201cOwn it\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"224\">2\/24(\u6c34)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/131409\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Interest Surges in Top Colleges, While Struggling Ones Scrape for Applicants<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aAmelia Nierenberg<br>(c) 2021 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prestigious universities like Cornell never have a hard time attracting students. But this year, the admissions office in Ithaca, New York, is swimming in 17,000 more applications than it has ever received before, driven mostly by the school\u2019s decision not to require standardized test scores during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But while selective universities like Cornell and its fellow Ivy League schools have seen unprecedented interest after waiving test scores, smaller and less recognizable schools are dealing with the opposite issue: empty mailboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In early December, applications to Cal Poly Pomona, east of Los Angeles and part of the California State University system, were down 40% over the previous year from would-be freshmen, and 52% from transfer students, most of whom started their higher education at community colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a time when many colleges and universities are being squeezed financially by the pandemic and a loss of public funding, the prospect of landing fewer students \u2014 and losing critical tuition dollars \u2014 is a dire one at schools that have already slashed programs and laid off staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid that, the faculty and administrators at Cal Poly Pomona, which lost $20 million in state funding this fiscal year, spent December calling students who had started their applications but not submitted them, or who had applied in the past and were not accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nation\u2019s most selective four-year institutions, both public and private, saw a record-breaking 17% increase in applications this year, according to Common App. Small liberal arts schools felt a boon, with applications to Haverford and Swarthmore increasing by 16% and 12%, respectively. So did large state schools like UCLA, where freshman applications increased 28%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications to the primary campus at Penn State, a Big Ten School, increased by 11%. Harvard saw a whopping 42% spike, while Colgate University in upstate New York received 103% more applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But smaller or less recognizable institutions, both public and private, saw precipitous declines. The declines come as colleges and universities have been battered financially by the coronavirus, with estimated losses of more than $120 billion from plunging enrollment and dried-up revenue streams like food services and athletic events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>surge\u3000\u6025\u5897\u3001\u6025\u4e0a\u6607<br>struggle\u3000\u82e6\u52b4\u3059\u308b\u3001\u60aa\u6226\u82e6\u95d8\u3059\u308b<br>scrape\u3000\u304b\u304d\u96c6\u3081\u308b<br>prestigious\u3000\u4e00\u6d41\u306e\u3001\u9ad8\u540d\u306a<br>fellow\u3000\u4ef2\u9593\u3001\u540c\u58eb<br>unprecedented\u3000\u524d\u4f8b\u306e\u7121\u3044\u3001\u524d\u4ee3\u672a\u805e\u306e<br>recognizable\u3000\u8a8d\u8b58\u3067\u304d\u308b<br>deal with\u3000\u554f\u984c\u306b\u53d6\u308a\u7d44\u3080\u3001\u89e3\u6c7a\u3057\u3088\u3046\u3068\u3059\u308b<br>precipitous\u3000\u6025\u6fc0\u306a\u3001\u7a81\u7136\u306e<br>battered\u3000\u307c\u308d\u307c\u308d\u306e<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"225\">2\/25(\u6728)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/131662\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Where a Vaccination Campaign Faces Skepticism, War and Corruption<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aDavid Zucchino and Najim Rahim<br>(c) 2021 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KABUL, Afghanistan \u2014 Afghanistan, whose citizens have largely brushed aside the coronavirus pandemic as exaggerated or an outright hoax, is now preparing to distribute its first batch of vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A half-million doses of the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, produced by an Indian manufacturer, were delivered to the capital, Kabul, by India on Feb. 7. But the arrival was greeted with indifference by many Afghans, who have rebuffed government warnings that the virus is a deadly public health threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cheap and easy-to-store AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine is being delivered as part of the Covax program, a worldwide initiative to buy and distribute vaccines to poor countries for free or at a reduced cost. On Feb. 15, the World Health Organization authorized use of the vaccine, which requires two doses per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vaccine arrives as Afghanistan is fighting off a second deadly wave, even as most Afghans go about their daily lives as if the virus never existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course I won\u2019t take the vaccine because I don\u2019t believe in the existence of the coronavirus,\u201d said Muhibullah Armani, 30, a taxi driver in the southern city of Kandahar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And even among Afghans who believe the virus is real and want to be inoculated, there is little faith the government, mired in pervasive corruption, will equitably distribute limited vaccine supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis vaccine will be available just for high status people,\u201d said Khalil Jan Gurbazwal, a civil society activist in Khost province in eastern Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Attorney General\u2019s Office said Thursday that 74 government officials from five provinces had been charged with embezzling coronavirus response funds. Among those charged were former provincial governors and deputy governors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the vaccination program got underway Tuesday, the first dose was administered at the presidential palace in Kabul to Anisa Shaheed, a television reporter who has covered the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Distributing any vaccine in a desperately poor nation consumed by unrest is a daunting logistical challenge. In addition to overcoming public suspicions and traversing dangerous territories, the Ministry of Public Health must also navigate vaccine delivery in remote provinces with poor roads and primitive infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afghanistan has recorded more than 55,000 coronavirus cases and nearly 2,500 COVID-related deaths, according to the Ministry of Public Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>skepticism \u61d0\u7591\u8ad6<br>corruption \u6c5a\u8077\u3001\uff08\u653f\u6cbb\u7684\uff09\u8150\u6557<br>outright hoax \u5b8c\u5168\u306a\u30c7\u30de<br>with indifference \u7121\u95a2\u5fc3\u306a\u3001\u7121\u9813\u7740\u306b<br>rebuff \u62d2\u7d76\u3059\u308b\u3001\u306f\u306d\u3064\u3051\u308b<br>mire in \uff08\u82e6\u5883\u306b\uff09\u9665\u3089\u305b\u308b<br>embezzle \u6a2a\u9818\u3059\u308b<br>unrest \uff08\u793e\u4f1a\u7684\u306a\uff09\u4e0d\u5b89<br>daunting \u624b\u3054\u308f\u3044\u3001\u6c17\u306e\u9060\u304f\u306a\u308b\u3088\u3046\u306a<br>\u4e0d\u6b63\u95a2\u9023\u7528\u8a9e<br>bribery \u308f\u3044\u308d\u3001\u8d08\u53ce\u8cc4<br>graft \u6c5a\u8077<br>under the table \u53d6\u5f15\u306a\u3069\u304c\u4e0d\u6b63\u306a\u65b9\u6cd5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"226\">2\/26(\u91d1)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/116700\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Powell Says Better Child Care Policies Might Lift Women in Workforce<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aJeanna Smialek<br>(c) 2021 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve chair, suggested on Wednesday that improved child care support policies from the government might help pull more women into the labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fed chief studiously avoided commenting on specific government policy proposals during three hours of wide-ranging testimony before the House Financial Services Committee. But he did acknowledge, in response to a question, that enabling better options for affordable child-care is an \u201carea worth looking at\u201d for Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur peers, our competitors, advanced economy democracies, have a more built-up function for child care, and they wind up having substantially higher labor force participation for women,\u201d Powell said, answering a question from Rep. Cindy Axne, D-Iowa. \u201cWe used to lead the world in female labor force participation, a quarter-century ago, and we no longer do. It may just be that those policies have put us behind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fed chair, who had also testified before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday, repeatedly refused to weigh in on the $1.9 trillion spending package the Biden administration has proposed or any of its individual provisions. The central bank is independent of politics, and it tries to avoid getting involved in partisan debates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Powell did voice qualified support for a few broader ideas \u2014 like exploring better child-care options \u2014 and he stressed that in the near-term, it is critical to help workers who have been displaced from their jobs during the pandemic. He made it clear that the labor market remained far from healed, that the pandemic\u2019s economic fallout has disproportionately hurt women and minorities, and that both Congress and the central bank have a role to play in supporting vulnerable families until the economy has recovered more fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome parts of the economy have a long way to go,\u201d he said Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women\u2019s labor force participation had climbed for decades in the United States before stalling out \u2014 and then actually dropping slightly \u2014 starting in the 1990s. As Powell alluded to, adult women in the United States hold jobs or look for them at lower rates than women in some other major advanced economies, such as Canada or Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>studiously\u3000\u614e\u91cd\u306b\uff0f\u5ff5\u5165\u308a\u306b<br>testimony\u3000\u8a3c\u8a00\uff0f\u8a3c\u660e<br>enable\u3000\u3000\u53ef\u80fd\u306b\u3059\u308b\uff0f\u8a31\u53ef\u3059\u308b<br>affordable\u3000\u304a\u6c42\u3081\u3084\u3059\u3044\uff0f\u9ad8\u304f\u306f\u306a\u3044<br>worth\u3000\u3000\u301c\u7532\u6590\u304c\u3042\u308b\uff0f\u301c\u3059\u308b\uff08\u307b\u3069\u306e\uff09\u4fa1\u5024\u304c\u3042\u308b<br>wind up\u3000\u6700\u7d42\u7684\u306b\uff0f\u7d50\u5c40<br>substantially\u3000\u304b\u306a\u308a\uff0f\u5927\u5e45\u306b<br>testify\u3000\u3000\u8a3c\u8a00\u3059\u308b\uff0f\u8a3c\u660e\u3059\u308b<br>weigh in (on)\u3000\u610f\u898b\u3092\u8a00\u3046\uff0f\u8b70\u8ad6\u306b\u53c2\u52a0\u3059\u308b<br>provisions\u3000\u3000\u898f\u5b9a\uff0f\u4f9b\u7d66<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizmates.jp\/?utm_source=vo&amp;utm_medium=pa&amp;utm_campaign=app&amp;utm_content=pavoapp0000001\"><img src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bigbanner_20201202-1-1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voicy\u521d\u306e\u516c\u5f0f\u82f1\u8a9e\u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b9\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u30cd\u30eb\u300cVoicy News Brief with articles from New York Times\u300d\u3002\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u30cd\u30eb\u3067\u306f\u3001\u30d0\u30a4\u30ea\u30f3\u30ac\u30eb\u30d1\u30fc\u30bd\u30ca\u30ea\u30c6\u30a3\u304cThe New York Times\u306e\u8a18\u4e8b\u3092\u82f1\u8a9e\u3067\u8aad\u307f\u3001\u8a18\u4e8b\u306e\u4e2d\u306b\u51fa\u3066\u304f\u308b\u5358\u8a9e\u3092\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u3067\u89e3\u8aac\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002 Voicy Journal\u3067\u306f\u3001\u6bce\u9031\u91d1\u66dc\u65e5\u306b\u305d\u306e\u9031\u306b\u8aad\u3093\u3060\u8a18\u4e8b\u3092\u3001\u307e\u3068\u3081\u3066\u7d39\u4ecb\u3057\u307e\u3059\uff01\uff11\u9031\u9593\u306e\u7d42\u308f\u308a\u306b\u3001\u305d\u306e\u9031\u306e\u653e\u9001\u3092\u3082\u3046\uff11\u5ea6\u805e\u3044\u3066\u5fa9\u7fd2\u3059\u308b\u306e\u3082&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":9775,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9773"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
