Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:

Opinion polls are now beginning to show an unwilling general agreement that,whoever is to blameand whatever happens from now on,high unemployment is probably here to stay.This means we shallhave to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely.

But we need to go further.We must ask some fundamental question about the future of work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm?Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work?Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves,rather than for an employer?Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighbourhood,
