Looking at enrolment data to colleges and universities the once exclusive domain for men is now generally becoming the one for women (at least in Sweden), and the males are falling behind as a group in education level with some really far behind (not even completed high school). Getting a well-paying and stable job after high school is far more difficult than it used to be. So young men without higher education or craft education are left behind in a very real sense, and then you get what you wrote about in your post.
