About this listen

Are boys and men falling behind? Enoch and Tim unpack the widening gap between men and women in education, leadership, volunteerism, and broader civic life. They spotlight striking statistics—like how university enrollment now stands at 59% female and only 41% male—and explore what this shift means for the future of families, communities, and society. The conversation traces how public attention has only recently turned to this issue and considers the long-term consequences of a generation of men growing up feeling undervalued, underperforming, and unseen. What happens to a society when half its young people believe the system isn’t built for them?
