Richard Reeves on why men and boys are struggling - and how we fix it.

Why have so many boys and men fallen behind in America?

Boys are behind girls in K-12 education.
They are behind girls in getting to college - and staying in college.
Millions of prime-age men are missing from the labor force.
And men die deaths of despair - suicide and overdoses - at much higher rates than women.

Richard Reeves talks about what has shifted culturally for men. How do you turn this around? Why do these issues affect even upper-class boys? How has this issue hurt Democrats - and what can they do about it?

Reeves is the author of "Of Boys and Men," the founding president of the American Institute For Boys and Men, and a senior fellow at Brookings.

His work has inspired several important thinkers, including Scott Galloway and David Brooks.
