Scott Galloway: The crisis among young men is getting worse!

TL;DR

Young men in the US and Europe are experiencing a severe crisis: suicide (76% of UK suicides are male, leading cause of death for men under 45), economic decline (men under 40 are 24% less wealthy; average age of first-time home buyer is 47), and social isolation (1 in 7 men has no friends).

Key insights

• Someone dies by suicide in the UK every 90 minutes; 76% are male; it is the single biggest cause of death for men under 45 and for ages 15–49. The 19–35 age group is twice as likely to report being in
• For the first time in US and European history, a 30-year-old is not doing as well as his or her parents were at age 30. This creates shame and rage.
• Men under 40 are 24% less wealthy; the average age of a first-time home buyer is 47.
