Men Without Work in the Post-Pandemic Era | LIVE STREAM
The pathbreaking book Men Without Work (Templeton Press, 2016) by AEI’s Nicholas Eberstadt casts a spotlight on an “invisible crisis”: the collapse of employment for men of prime working age (25–54), driven by a long-term exodus from the workforce. Unfortunately, America’s worklessness problem has worsened since COVID-19. Paradoxically, today America suffers an unprecedented peacetime labor shortage as millions of former workers stubbornly sit on the sidelines of the economy.
In Men Without Work: Post-Pandemic Edition (Templeton Press, 2022), Mr. Eberstadt shows how the pandemic and Washington’s policy responses to it have led to a new “flight from work,” seemingly spreading to other groups, including the greying workforce and younger women.
Please join Mr. Eberstadt and Harvard University’s Lawrence H. Summers for a conversation on the crisis facing America’s workforce.
