This opinion piece by Kay Hymowitz in the LA Times, linked to by National Review, gets back to the issue I’ve been thinking about lately: fatherless kids, particularly boys, and the seemingly endless cycle. Apparently, this is a condensed version of an article in the City Journal, but that’s not available online yet.
Nothing that Hymowitz says is particularly novel, except that there are cross-country studies that indicate that these “Boy Problems” exist even in generous social welfare states such as Finland. And she doesn’t really proffer a solution — which is what I’m after. But it’s still worthwhile reading.
