Men Without Work

Book • 2016

Nicholas Eberstadt

Men Without Work: America's Invisible Crisis explores the phenomenon of American men leaving the workforce, particularly those of prime working age.

The book discusses historical trends, causes, and implications of this crisis, which has been exacerbated by recent economic events like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Eberstadt argues that despite low unemployment rates, the work rate for men has been declining for decades, leading to significant social and economic consequences.
