Abstract
This article seeks to answer the question posed in the title, which refers in particular to men in the lower-class urban sectors. The statistics reflect a type of behavior marked by an avoidance of the obligations connected with the formation and maintenance of a family, leading to an increase in rates of illegitimacy, in the proportion of adolescent pregnancies, and in the rates of abandonment of families with children.
