The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
No Mercy / No Malice: Marrying Up and Marrying Down

There's a corrosive downward spiral at work right now. As the economic prospects of men without a college degree decline, marriage rates fall. That leaves millions more men and women without a partner to share the responsibilities and benefits of family life. In other work by AIBM, we show that half of men without a college degree, aged 30 to 50, now live in a household without children.

Without the positive pressures that come from being a father and husband, men are even less likely to really go for it on the work front. They are more likely to be unemployed. They become more vulnerable to addiction, more socially isolated. All of which makes them less attractive as potential spouses. Boys raised in single mother households then struggle in school and in life.

And they have difficulty finding a mate and forming a family too. And so the cycle turns. The economic struggles of boys and men become entrenched across generations. It's not often enough stressed that the class gap in marriage is not only a consequence of economic inequality, but also a cause of it.

Pooling incomes into a single household is obviously optimal, but from an economic perspective, especially for those with the lowest incomes, who are now the least likely to marry. Some scholars suggest that the class gap in marriage can explain much of the decline in social mobility in recent decades.

Concerns about marriage should then be focused on men and women with less educational attainment and or worsening economic outcomes. The problem is not that your daughter graduating from Amherst or Berkeley won't find a man good enough for her. The problem is that a woman in Appalachia or the Bronx won't find a man she sees as worth marrying. The best pro-marriage, anti-poverty strategy is simple.

Improve the economic prospects of working class and lower income men. Einfach bedeutet nicht einfach, natürlich. Massive Investitionen in Bildung und Training sind notwendig, sowie mehr Spende auf Infrastruktur, städtebasierte Policies, um den niedrigsten Städten zu helfen und viel mehr. Aber es ist klar, wo zu beginnen. Mit den Jungs und Männern.
