The article discusses the growing divergence in political and social views between young men and women, particularly in developed countries. Here are some key points:
- Diverging Views: Young women are becoming more liberal, while young men are not, leading to a significant gap in political opinions1.
- Education and Experience: The gap is influenced by education levels, with women surpassing men in university degrees, and differing experiences of sexism.
- Impact on Relationships: The differing views may affect dating, marriage, and family formation, with potential implications for birth rates in rich countries. The article also explores the reasons behind this divide, such as education disparities, echo chambers on social media, and the political exploitation of young male grievances. It suggests that addressing educational underperformance among boys and expanding vocational training could help bridge the gap.
