Read transcript
While studying inequality and social mobility, Richard Reeves made a surprising
discovery: in some countries, like the US and UK, boys are drastically lagging
behind girls across many academic measures. He explains why these struggles in
school are indicative of the larger crises facing boys and men -- and outlines
how society could thoughtfully tackle these challenges to work towards a more
inclusive, equitable future. (Followed by a Q&A with head of TED Chris Anderson)
