About this ebook
Father Risks Life explores the historical and ongoing phenomenon of male sacrifice in the labor force, particularly in hazardous occupations. It examines how societal expectations around gender roles and economic pressures have driven men into dangerous jobs, often prioritizing productivity over personal safety. Intriguingly, despite comprising roughly half the workforce, men account for over 90% of workplace fatalities, highlighting the stark disparity in occupational risk. The bookâs value lies in shedding light on this overlooked aspect of labor economics and social science, urging a re-evaluation of the implicit acceptance of male sacrifice as a cost of progress.
The book adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, blending statistical analysis with personal stories to illustrate the complex interplay between gender, labor, and technological advancement. For instance, it notes how automation, while potentially reducing male occupational fatalities, also creates new forms of job insecurity and necessitates workforce retraining.
Father Risks Life progresses by first establishing the historical context, then delving into the socio-economic drivers of male risk-taking, and finally analyzing the impact of automation.
