As Men Lose Economic Ground
This is a very interesting NY Times article entitled "As Men Lose Economic Ground, Clues in the Family" that reports on research that seems to indicate that men who are raised by single mothers are less likely to be successful or attractive to partners in adulthood. There seems to be a clear gender difference in outcomes between sons and daughters of single parents. What factors do you think this study is missing? How could this trend be changed?
