Younger men are more family-oriented than older men, but workplaces are changing more slowly.
In contrast, only 13 percent of mid-career men and 16 percent of older men agreed with that statement. Among men in this sample, behavior is also consistent with their attitudes. Younger men were more likely to grow up in dual-earner households. While men may be changing, bosses place equal demands on younger and older men alike. This is a classic case of people changing faster than society's institutions.
