Where did all the men go?

"It’s true, a growing legion of men are dropping out of the workforce. 
They just stop looking for work. The result is not merely economic 
damage; the traditional family structure, among much else, suffers 
grievous damage when hard-working, responsible men aren’t available for 
marriage.

Divided amongst state-funded disability benefits, nutritional 
assistance, and low-income housing subsidies, the economic estuary that 
exists between a demanding career and remaining jobless has dried up to 
almost a point of non-existence.

When safety nets mitigate non-work without demanding an exchange, the 
motivator to persevere through demanding labor dissolves.”
