...conditions. Wages for jobs held mainly by women paid 20% less than male-dominated jobs with the same worth points (see chart). In 1976, the year that an expanded Willis study came out, Governor Daniel Evans allocated $7 million in his budget to rectify these perceived disparities, but his successor, Dixy Lee Ray, the state's first female Governor, killed the plan when she took office in 1977.

But when Prime Minister Andreas van Agt resigned in the fall of 1982 for health reasons, he surprised many by naming Lubbers his successor. The new leader inherited a collapsing economy. Recession-pinched tax revenues were being drained by the most bountiful social welfare system south of Sweden, dispensing such goodies as 80%-of-salary unemployment benefits and $250 monthly stipends for school graduates and dropouts. The budget deficit stood at $10.5 billion...
