""There are very real economic forces that are limiting the options for non-college-educated men in the United States. Some of what we're seeing is simply rational responses to a system that's pricing them out.""
""Today, there are many fewer non-college men than there were a generation ago, and so we should absolutely be concerned about non-college-educated men today. They are a more disadvantaged group than before.""
Men are nearly twice as likely as women to live with their parents, especially non-college-educated men. A study shows that 16% of non-college men live at home compared to 8% of college-educated men. Rising housing costs have forced many men back into parental homes, with non-college-educated men increasingly dropping out of the workforce. Since 1960, real rents have risen 150%, while wages for non-college men have stagnated. Experts express concern over the declining number of non-college-educated men and their increasing disadvantages in today's economy.
