We are proud to share that Prof G has made a six-figure gift to support AIBM’s work. We are deeply grateful for this investment in research, solutions, and real-world impact that improves the wellbeing of boys and men.
This kind of support strengthens our ability to turn evidence into action. Thank you, @profgalloway !
Healthcare is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the U.S., yet men comprise only a small percentage of the broader healthcare workforce.
It’s time to break down the stigma and actively encourage men to explore nursing, physical therapy, respiratory care, and other expanding health professions.
Workforce Pell—the largest expansion of Pell Grants in decades—takes effect July 2026. AIBM’s Patrick Bourke explains how short-term credentials, apprenticeships, and earn-and-learn models can help reengage young men in postsecondary education.
What states must do to ensure Workforce Pell delivers: prioritize HEAL professions, design programs as entry points to degrees, and track outcomes that show whether the policy actually reengages boys and men.

WE DID IT! 🙏🏽
The Male Educator Network & Policy Institute (MEN) is finally here!!!!
I’m excited to launch the first of its kind professional network and policy institute dedicated solely to male educators.
MEN is the premier home for policy, research, and polling…but also information scholarships, fellowships, jobs, and convenings to grow the number of male educators!
All are welcome! From mentors, coaches, aspiring and current teachers…to leaders in K-12, higher education, journalism, philanthropy, research, and politics!
Go to maleeducators.org now to join our network! See you there!
Behind this figure are bigger questions about why so many men are struggling to connect with the workforce — and what it means for the country.
This group, which we and others refer to as 'NEETS’ — young people who are ‘Not in Education, Employment, or Training’. In 2024, 12% of young men aged 16-24 fell into this category, facing real barriers to entering both work and learning in an increasingly competitive economic environment.
The governors of California, Maryland, and New York have all issued executive orders barring state employees and government appointees from using confidential information obtained through their official roles to profit on prediction markets. A recent AIBM/Ipsos poll found 61% of Americans view these platforms as gambling rather than investing, and young men aged 18-24 are using them at nearly double the rate of the general public.
As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, the demographic data raises important questions. Young men are disproportionately drawn to these platforms with 26% of men aged 18-24 reporting use of at least one sports betting, daily fantasy, or prediction market platform in the last six months.
AIBM continues to conduct research on prediction markets and sports betting and their impact on society, especially for young men and boys. Read more at the link in our bio.
Today is National Apprenticeship Day.
In 2024, 12% of young men aged 16-24 were not in school, employment, or training. Apprenticeships offer a direct, cost-effective path to high-paying careers.
Swipe to see why apprenticeships deserve a serious policy commitment.
In 2022, 85% of new apprentices in the U.S. were men.
This National Apprenticeship Week, the data points to a clear and urgent policy gap. Earn-and-learn pathways work, and scaling them is one of the most evidence-backed ways to strengthen male workforce participation in America.
Before a boy steps foot in a classroom, he's already 14 percentage points behind girls in school readiness. By the end of high school, he's 3x more likely to have been expelled and 50% more likely to have dropped out.
Our research shows boys are falling behind girls at every stage of their education — and the consequences follow them for life.
In 2023 alone, 39,045 men took their own lives, roughly one every 13 minutes.
The risk is even greater for working-class men, and since 2010, rates among men aged 25-34 have climbed by 30%.
Tailoring prevention strategies to the specific communities and jobs where risk is highest is how we can start saving lives.

What do we actually know about how childhood exposure is affecting boys and men?
AIBM’s David Sasaki discussed with experts what we do and don’t know about the pornography research landscape in our latest webinar. Click the link in bio to watch the full conversation, or read the full landscape scan on our website.
