But What Do I Know? says 13 years ago

Do they break this out for men vs. women? It would seem to me that the problem is even worse for young men since fifty years ago girls were not expected to work (outside the home)as a general rule. Since the percentage for young women would have been much lower in 1950-60, I assume the percentage for young men would have been much higher.
