The male inequality problem is getting worse

“A lot of the trends in the economy, in family life have just been much harder for working class men.”

Excerpt: "Richard Reeves argues that this quiet male crisis has been decades in the making and it is far more complex than most people imagine.

From collapsing educational outcomes to shrinking roles in the labor market, men are struggling in ways that upend our usual narratives about progress.

As President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, Reeves threads data, personal stories, and unexpected trends to show how these shifts ripple far beyond men themselves.

Yet within this unsettling picture lies a hopeful truth: confronting these realities head on can strengthen families, deepen connections, and help everyone rise together."
