Here in Canada, I've heard many researches in the past few years which have shown that it is in fact young males in this country that account for the vast majority of poverty, unemployment, underemployment, and homelessness.
These facts are compounded by the fact that generally speaking, government beneficiary recipients tend to be single mom's, women, minorities, and other groups deemed "at risk" (which coincidentally does not incluce young males even though statistically they are the most at risk group in society).
I see it everyday here in Canada. Aside from energy, it seems our largest industries are health care, education, and human resources and the workforce in those seems to me to be 95%+ female. It's like the government has fabricated entire pseudo-industries to give women jobs that are unnecessary and do not at all contribute to the nation's overall GDP (in fact it deteriorates and takes away). I mean yes, obviously we need health care to care for old people, but its become a complete industry which has nothing to do with actually helping sick people, but more to do with giving women jobs. Education in this country should not be a growing field because quite frankly, the amount of young people is shrinking and its only immigrants that are sustaining us.
It seems that the government (through supporting single mom's and independent women), or lesbianism is replacing the traditional institution of marriage. Women are known to marry up in class, but the problem in Canada is becoming that women are educated and men are not, so women tend to make more (generally speaking, trends are moving that way), so there is no incentive for women to marry.
Thoughts or comments on this? What sort of work do you do and can you see this in your workplace?
