1:06:12Now PlayingJohn is joined by Nicholas Eberstadt for a Direct interview focused on his recent book, 'Men Without Work'. Nicholas talks about the societal damage caused by the millions of prime-age men who are neither employed in education or in training.
Since the 1940's, the US has seen male engagement in the workforce plummet, disability insurance schemes explode and a stagnation in family health and fertility rates. John and Nicholas discuss what this 'men without work' phenomenon means for the West today and for future generations.
Nicholas holds the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he researches and writes extensively on demographics and economic development generally, and more specifically on international security in the Korean peninsula and Asia. Domestically, he focuses on poverty and social well-being. He is the author of numerous books, notable among them 'Poverty in China', 'The Tyranny of Numbers', 'Russia's Peacetime Demographic Crisis', and his latest, 'Men Without Work: America's Invisible Crisis'.
Nicholas has offered invited testimony before Congress on numerous occasions and has served as consultant or adviser for a variety of units within the US government. He has a PhD in political economy and government, an MPA from the Kennedy School of Government, and an AB from Harvard University. In addition, he holds a master of science from the London School of Economics.
