Episode notes

In most marriages now, the woman is more educated than the man. We've just passed that historical tipping point for black couples. College educated american women are the most likely to get married. And i don't think it's because they're socialized into it or feeling they have to. I think thy'rechoosing it because of the kids,. They know that pooling incomes and family stability are a way to help their kids succeed. The same is not true for working class families and poorer families, where marriage has really declined very sharply.

Richard Reeves is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. He is the author of Dream Hoarders and, most recently, Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It.

In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Richard Reeves discuss how the upper middle-class has cornered the market on economic opportunity; why helping men does not mean undoing progress for women; and whether the problems facing men and boys are more structural than we often think.
