The economic progress of US men has stagnated in recent decades. The labor force participation rate of men ages 25-54 peaked in the mid-1960s and has declined since then (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics), while men's real median earnings have been flat since the early 1970s. These population averages mask considerably larger declines in participation among less-educated and non-white men as well as substantial increases in wage inequality. In this paper, we seek to illuminate the broader context in which prime-age men are experiencing economic stagnation. We explore changes for prime-age men over time in education, mortality, morbidity, disability program receipt, family structure, and incarceration rates. We focus on prime-age men, namely those ages 25-54, and on the years 1980-2016 (or 2017 when possible), encompassing much of the period of reduced economic progress for low-skilled men.

失去劳动时：低技能男人的经济机会正在下降的时期中的健康，家庭生活，监禁和教育

近几十年来，美国男人的经济发展停滞不前。25-54岁男性的劳动力参与率在1960年代中期达到顶峰，此后一直下降（根据美国劳工统计局的数据），而男性的实际中位数收入自1970年代初以来一直持平。这些人口平均数掩盖了受教育程度较低和非白人男子的参与率大幅下降，以及工资不平等现象的大幅增加。在本文中，我们力图阐明大龄男性正经历经济停滞的更广泛背景。我们探讨了随着年龄的增长，成年男性在教育，死亡率，发病率，残疾计划接收，家庭结构和监禁率方面的变化。我们关注的是25-54岁的成年男性，以及1980-2016年（如果可能的话，则为2017年），
