The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys are Struggling--And What We Can Do About It

In the 56 largest developed nations, boys are experiencing a boy crisis. They are falling behind girls in every academic subject, especially reading and writing, the two biggest predictors of success. They are experiencing a crisis of mental health (e.g., suicides; addictions), physical health (obesity, infertility), and lack of preparation for productive careers (e.g., a decline in vocational education). Dr. Farrell will discuss the major causes (e.g., dad-deprivation) he documents in The Boy Crisis and a wide array of solutions for every family type.
