Abstract: I document several aspects of the living conditions of low-skilled men not in the labor force while focusing on their means of living. I find that poor labor outcomes of low-skilled men may be pushing some low-skilled men out of the formal labor markets. Furthermore, these low-skilled men who are not in the formal labor markets have enjoyed sharp increases in spousal income as well as parental support relative to the low-skilled men who remain in the formal labor markets. Among the low-skilled men not in the labor force There are important demographic heterogeneities and spatial distribution differences both of which evolve overtime; these may have important implications for any model of labor force outcomes with heterogeneity in skills.
