Description
Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why it Matters, and what to Do about it by Richard V. Reeves
The struggles of modern masculinity are a pressing concern. Research shows that boys are 50% more likely than girls to fail at key school subjects, while men's wages have stagnated compared to 1979. The economic shift away from traditional male jobs has left men struggling in the labour market. Furthermore, the cultural role of family provider has been eroded, leading to dislocated fathers.
Reeves proposes a positive vision of masculinity that is compatible with gender equality. He suggests starting boys at school a year later than girls, increasing men in caring professions, and rethinking the role of fatherhood outside of a nuclear family context. A nuanced exploration of the structural challenges facing modern masculinity, this book offers a compelling vision for change.
