Employers are facing the toughest labor market in our lifetime. Men have lost reason and faith, character and stability. Men aren't getting married, and they aren't growing up. But each successive generation gets worse because they lack both fathers and mothers. The mothers of the next generation of children have rushed into the marketplace to fill in for the economy, and children are left home alone. Only 47% of grown men are married and stabilized in life, down from 73% in 1960. Meanwhile, the ratio of men to women in the workplace has increased from 91% to 34% (a 57% difference) to 89% to 78% (an 11% difference). But how is that going to help? Absent parents are the common denominator of many recent epidemics, including obesity, STDs, attention deficit disorder, and the use of psychiatric medications on even very young children. This thing is spiraling in the wrong direction. The solution will be found in the restoration of mothering, manhood, fathering, mentorship, and relationship.
