The Future of Work Is Care—Can Men Adapt? | The Professor Is In
from Think Like An Economist · host Platypus Economics
America keeps talking about manufacturing — but the labor market is growing elsewhere. In this Q&A, Justin Wolfers answers audience questions and responds to subscriber comments from his recent episode diving into the gender gap in recent job growth. Topics addressed include: how the gender wage gap fits into the story, what’s standing in the way of more men entering care jobs, and whether the demand for labor in traditionally masculine fields has been overhyped. It’s a discussion about economics, politics, and culture — and part of a larger conversation that’s only just beginning.
