Study Of Men's Falling Income Cites Single Parents by Binyamin Appelbaum. The New York Times. March 20, 2013.
Wayward Sons: The Emerging Gender Gap In Labor Markets and Education by David Autor and Melanie Wasserman The Third Way.
The MIT study upon which this article is based does not focus directly on health issues. However, we can be assured that the phenomena described here is having and will continue to have tremendous health impact on men for a wide range of diseases and mental health. The circular nature of the problem was made clear by a quotation from Christopher Jencks, professor of social policy at Harvard: "Single-parent families tend to emerge in places where the men already are a mess. You have to ask yourself, 'Suppose the available men were getting married to the available women? Would that be an improvement?"
