Banter #264: Harry Holzer and Brent Orrell on getting men back to work.

Since 1967, the labor force participation rate has decreased from 96 percent to 88 percent. As a result, seven million working-age men are out of the labor force. AEI’s Robert Doar partnered with Georgetown University’s Harry Holzer and ICF’s Brent Orrell to explore these issues in a new paper titled “Getting Men Back to Work: Solutions from the Right and Left.” The report discusses the causes of male nonwork and offers bipartisan reform proposals to increase male labor force activity.
