> Prime age men who are out of the labor force, however, report less happiness and more sadness during their days than do unemployed men, although they evaluate their lives in general more highly than unemployed men. Prime age and older women who are out of the labor force report emotional well-being and life evaluations in general that are about on par with employed women the same age Tens of millions of men are suffering in a way that women aren't. It seems when something affects the sexes differently society treats it as gender issue and seeks to help women specifically. There appear to be specific gender issues here hurting men more. I'd hypothesize unequal expectations. Is this an issue to look at from a gendered perspective?
